EWBers of the Month - March

Congratulations to March’s EWBers of the month Blake Baldwin and Andrew Nottingham. Both Blake and Andrew are first year mechanical engineers who’ve done a great job co-chairing the education committee this quarter. These gentlemen are responsible for revitalizing the tradition of cultural meetings here at EWB-UC and have been doing an excellent job. Blake, Andrew, and the rest of their committee are hard at work creating educational material on laying concrete foundation for the travel team heading to Burere this summer. We hope to see both Blake and Andrew continue the great work they are doing for our chapter.

Q & A

Q: What is a short term goal you have relating to EWB?

Blake: Finishing up the educational material for this summer’s trip.

Andrew: Determine what Blake and I can do to make the education committee grown and function to its fullest.

Q: What is one of your longer term goals?

Blake: I hope to continue to educate our peers about the intricacies of African culture and building methods.

Andrew: My long term goal is to go on at least one of the trips to Africa; specifically the Nyambogo implementation since that’s the project I’m working on.

Q: What is a fun fact that not everyone may know about you?

Blake: I'm currently employed with the Cincinnati Circus Company where I juggle, unicycle and help run a trapeze class.

Andrew: I really enjoy going on such service oriented trips as our ones to Africa are, and I've been on similar trips to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.
