Spring/Summer Connections
Greetings CAED Community,
I am proud to share our first-ever combined spring/summer issue of Connections e-Magazine.
Let’s come together to applaud the annual preparation and remarkable achievements of our Structural Engineering Students for Humanity (SESH) and the inspiring work of the Tanzania Build, Verifying Everyone’s Safety Together (VEST) Hackathon and Design Village. Additionally, meet CAED’s new senior director of development and learn about the latest Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts by the CAED DEI club and how Cal Poly’s Architecture program connects students to Los Angeles. Lastly, read about miracles of the brain — and building — in a compelling story about an admirable CAED alumnus.
I want to express my sincerest appreciation to our e-magazine readers, alums, faculty, staff and friends for your continued investment in the success of Learn by Doing at the College of Architecture and Environmental Design.
Thank you for your unwavering partnership and dedication to our students.
Sincerely,
Kevin Dong
Interim Dean, College of Architecture and Environmental Design
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA
