- The Convention, the first and most famous role-playing convention in France;
Students also take part in the annual Tournoi des Grandes Ecoles, a sports competition gathering students from all Grandes Ecoles in France, accompanied by their (in)famous mascot, the toothed owl.
SUPAERO has also distinguished itself in the field of robotics, having ranked third (in 2003) and first (in 2004) at the Eurobot Open, and coming up regularly in the top-ranking teams of the French Robotics Cup.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or events:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
