Junior – Industrial Systems Engineering with minor in Leadership: Cross Disciplinary Perspectives

president@ewbncsu.org

Hello guys, gals, and nonbinary pals! I’m a junior in Industrial Systems Engineering here at good ole NC State. I love people and I want to make the world a better place, so EWB was a great fit for me! It’s an incredible organization that wants to empower everyone involved. I wish I had joined EWB the second I stepped foot on campus! I was worried that I might not have the skills needed, but I’m here to spread the word that EWB is open to every skill level and major (yes! Non-engineers too!).
