Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’m from Cary, NC. I enjoy music, going to the gym, rock climbing, and I played softball growing up. I’m also a huuuuge lemur fan!!! I’ve been a member of EWB-NCSU since I started at NCSU, I’m part of GWS, and was previously Partnerships Director. I love EWB because of the experiences it has given me in growing technical skills, my social network, and leadership experience. The fact that we get to help real people and do “real-engineering” during undergrad is super cool, and I’ve made great memories doing so.

Hello my name is Morgan Sawyer and I’m currently a junior majoring in Computer Science. I really enjoy whitewater rafting and hiking all across the country. I’ve been a part of EWB for a year now and I’m extremely happy I joined! In EWB I’ve always have felt welcomed and included, even when I didn’t know anyone else in the club.

vp_projects@ewbncsu.org
I’ve been a part of Engineers Without Borders since 2022 (my freshman year), and I’ve gotten the privilege to travel with GWS twice to Guatemala, as well as be their current co-lead. I love how EWB allows students to gain hands-on experience with engineering in the real world, while also learning how to be sustainable in all that we do. When I’m not doing EWB work or school, you can most likely find me around the triangle trying out new coffee spots!
