Our officers attended  the EWB-USA regional conference this past weekend at Valparaiso University in Indiana. The conference was a great success and they hope to implement much of what they learned in the coming weeks. Please feel free to contact any of the officers if you would like to know more about the ideas and projects presented or the representatives for the national and other university chapters they were able to network with.

Our website home.case.edu/ewb has undergone further updates check it out for continous updates between mailings as well as an archive of past weekly updates.

Are you a computer guru, interested in EWB but just don't know how you can help out? We have a project for you! Developing an interactive web-based project management software so  to assist chapters in organizing their projects and creating a database so that each chapter can feed of the others success. Please contact Chris (christopher.parker@case.edu) if you are interested.

Help us recognize the needs of our own city! As a few of our local projects kick off (see local projects section) we are eager to discover what other needs are here in Cleveland. This cannot happen without your support! If you are interested in helping us do walk/ride survey of the city and its people on Wens. 10/5 please RSVP to this email. Thanks for your support!
