International Fair 2010

Run for Water

The UCF chapter of Engineers Without Borders is hosting this event to benefit Haitian families. Registration proceeds benefit earthquake relief, the EWB UCF water project in Mare Brignol, Haiti, and Global Water Challenge.

Volunteers who register online here will receive a free shirt when they report for duty.

Those registering as ‘Water Carriers’ will be eligible for prizes. Water Carriers demonstrate the challenge of the people we are trying to help by personally carrying 1 gallon of water (container provided) the entire course distance. The top ten Water Carriers receive stainless steel water bottles and the top three receive additional prizes. Preregistration is required to compete.

Earthquake in Haiti

Fellow students,

As you might know on Monday, January 12, 2010  a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck southern Haiti. The International Student Association would like to let our Haitian brothers and sisters know that our hopes and prayers are with them. I personally assure you that at the ISA we will not stay with our arms crossed, we will help out however we can. At the moment we are coordinating with other student organizations to figure out what would be the best way for us to help.

Meanwhile, there are many ways in which you can individually help. Click the links below to find out more.
