Already in my short time here I’ve been able to see what a special club and opportunity Engineers Without Borders is. The kind of work that it does, that combines practical engineering with social care, is something that betters both the individual and the community that they are working for. Here in Local Projects, we’re applying that mindset of diligent engineering for community betterment right here on campus and in the surrounding areas. I’m looking forward to being a part of it!
