Hi! I’m Matthew Guin, a freshman in Civil Engineering here at NC State and a co-lead of Local Projects here in EWB. 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!
My name is Ashlyn Wilson and I am a freshman intending to study Environmental Engineering here at NC State. I live in the EcoVillage here on campus alongside many other environmentalists to try to learn more about how to take care of our beautiful planet. The only thing I’m more passionate about than the environment is helping people, and that’s why I love being a part of Engineers Without Borders! I attended the EWB interest meeting at the beginning of my freshman year and have been involved since! I’m looking forward to leading local projects alongside Matt this semester!
