Al Estes Heads North & Sydney Gallion Receives SEAONC Scholarship
Department Head Al Estes travelled to the Bay Area on April 30 – May 1 to visit Computers and Structures Inc. (CSI) and attend the SEAONC Scholarship ceremony. On the way, Al stopped by Stanford University and visited 2017 ARCE graduate Kate Cuddington who is currently getting her Master’s degree. Kate was working with Renata Fruchter as part of her innovative Computer Integrated Architecture/Engineering/Construction Global Teamwork course. ARCE students Michael Blanchard and Erica Croft provided CSI President and Founder Ashraf Habibullah with a presentation on their recent Structural Engineering Students for Humanity (SESH) trip to Nepal. The purpose of the visit was to thank Ashraf for his generous donation to this project. ARCE students Jenna Williams and Elyssa Adams attended as well, since they are leading the SESH trip to Nepal this summer. ARCE student Sydney Gallion was awarded a $5000 SEAONC scholarship which was formally presented at the 2018 Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards Ceremony held in downtown San Francisco. Her parents were able to attend the ceremony as well.
