  • In Memory of Nickolas B. Pippen (9/11/1982 - 8/13/2009)

    • Nickolas B. Pippen passed away this past August after a fourteen month battle with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. Nick was an enthusiastic volunteer and dear friend to both the EWB community and those whom he impacted abroad. Nick’s dedication, spirit, and love for helping those around him will continue to be felt in the Engineers Without Borders community. Please click here for more information.


  • Volunteers Needed for Concessions

    • The last two concession stands of the year are on Friday, November 13th and Tuesday, November 17th and we need volunteers. The games are against Charleston and Fairfield respectively. Volunteers should be at the Comcast center at 5pm, but if you have a class and you cannot make it right away, it is alright if you come a few minutes late.

    To sign up for the concession stands, email Alex Leishman (leishman3@gmail.com). We are going to need 15-20 volunteers per game, so the more people who sign up, the better. Remember that fundraising participation is taken into consideration when choosing travel teams. Thank you ahead of time for the help.

    International Opportunities Page
    EWB is just one part of international life as an engineer. The world is rushing ahead with advances, and the United States must be a full member of that community of education and research and work, or be left behind, as individuals and as a country. Learn about Undergraduate and Graduate opportunities abroad. If you have more opportunities that you would like to share with others, please email us at ewbumd@gmail.com.
