Engineers Without Borders (EWB)Week 8
EWB is doing something new! We will be releasing a year-end journal filled with content created by our members. The journal will be published as a PDF on our website and sent out in emails and newsletters. This is a great opportunity to show our families, communities, friends, and supporters what we’ve been up to!
Right now we’re early in the process of putting this together and need your help!
Names! Suggest names for the journal here. We want something catchy and descriptive of what we do. Be creative!
Design - If you have made any cool art inspired by your time in EWB, we would love to showcase it in the journal!
And of course, content! If you have something you’ve created and you want to share it in our EWB world, consider submitting it! If you have an idea but want to develop it more, come chat with Dan and Beth at tea time from 10-12pm on Fridays in the library. Draft/outline submittals will be due Friday of Spring quarter Week 4and final products will be due Friday of Week 7. We’d love to see essays, op-eds, photos, poems, drawings, academic articles, creative writing, anything that excites you as you work on it.
Email Dan ([email protected]) or Beth ([email protected]) if you have any questions or thoughts.
