ASCE Multi-Region Leadership Conference

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In January, I had the pleasure of being invited to the ASCE Multi-Region Leadership Conference, where I was able to network and develop a relationship with various students, younger members, life members, and National Ambassadors. It was amazing to see so many individuals gathered and committed to making a difference through the broad field of civil engineering. Through multiple workshops and break-out sessions, I learned of tools to bring back to our university community to create a more enriching experience for our student body members.
