Start of Fall Semester [09/03/2019]
Welcome back! After a great summer break, its time to get back to Engineers Without Borders and to start the semester out strong.
We'll be having our first chapter meeting of the semester on Wednesday the 11th at 6 pm in ILC S331. At this meeting, we'll discuss what our chapter of EWB does to new members, welcome back old members, and hear about the Ghana Project's trip over the summer.
You can register for the chapter meeting [here].
During this first week of classes, we also won't have project meetings for Kenya or Ghana. Stay posted for email updates for more information on those.
See you all at the chapter meeting!

Spring Semester Updates [01/25/2019]
Welcome back everyone! Winter break is over and its time to get started with EWB again. Over break, the Kenya project had a successful trip, and we're looking to keep that momentum rolling right into the semester. There's some important information and changes from last year that everyone should be aware of.
We will be having the first chapter meeting of the semester on Wednesday Feb. 6th, at 6pm in Elab 306. You can sign up for the chapter meeting [here]. Additionally, E-Board elections are coming up, and you should submit nominations (either yourself or someone else) as soon as possible, as the form will be closing soon. You can find the link for E-Board nominations [here].
Next, if you're interested in becoming more involved with the chapter, there are some exciting events coming up that you can participate and volunteer for. Our chapter has been invited to attend an EWB conference at the University of Connecticut on Feb. 2. If you're interested in going, send an email to ewb.umass@gmail.com. Looking ahead to March, our annual auction fundraiser will be held on March 30th at the Old Chapel here on campus, and we're looking for volunteers willing to help plan the event. If you'd like to get involved with this, you can sign up at [this] link.
Finally, there has been a room change for the Kenya project, and we will now be meeting in ELab 306 instead of in ELab 323. The time is still the same however.
