Howdy. I’m Eric, one of the co-chairs of CDE2020. I have been involved in my EngSoc since my first year, and I’m excited to step outside of Calgary and be a part of the CFES team. I’m super thrilled to have CDE in Calgary this year, and I’m looking forward to seeing all your beautiful faces here!
Action Plans:
- Run an open and inclusive CDE, where delegates can leave the conference confident in their ability to inspire meaningful change at their schools
