Selected Assignment: Community Engagement



I joined an engineering student organization (Society of Women Engineers) and attended the E-Week event held on 02/25/2021 from 3:00-4:30 PM. The event was housed on the library lawn. The event was held by multiple engineering RSO’s, including SWE. E-Week included tie-dying, catapult making, slime, a snow cone truck, and “bridge” building (with Jenga blocks). It was an enjoyable event, and I was able to talk to the engineering outreach specialist, Julie Rose, who I met during the two-week BEaM camp I attended with the school this past summer. She told me about an upcoming tour of the water school being put on by the FES RSO. It is coming up on 03/17/21 and I am interested in attending. Since I am considering a minor in environmental geology, I may end up taking some classes in this building. In general, though, it is nice to stay involved in the new buildings on campus. I look forward to attending more SWE events and I am glad I was able to join the club via eagle link. Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in the catapult building, slime making, or tie-dying because I had class from 3:30-4:45PM. But I am glad I got to stop by, chat with some other engineering students, grab a free WCE t-shirt, and take this photo. The trailer pictured housed a 300-pound cement canoe made by WCE students! It was an interesting sight.

My Semester Reflection

I feel like freshman year has been a time of growth—both academic and personal--lessons learned, and a time for trying new things. There were a lot of important academic and social milestones as well. For example, I think that I excelled in my classes and put in much more time and effort than ever needed in high school. This year was much more academically difficult, but I would say that I rose to the challenge, and even excelled! I was recommended to be a learning assistant and given a opportunity as a lab assistant in the fall. I earned the treasurer executive board position for next school year on the FGCU Women’s Lacrosse team. I served as council delegate for Palmetto Hall’s area council. I attended society of women engineers and wildlife club meetings. I also attended lots of Honors College events and was a member of the manatee house. I dipped my toe in the water of research with a graduate student. I met many amazing professors, and I am excited to meet more. And I made lots of...
