Students Begin A New Chapter in Helping Others

NYIT has established a new chapter of Engineers Without Borders, allowing students to partner with the nonprofit organization on sustainability projects worldwide. For its first major initiative, Chapter President Christopher Jewth and Vice President Divyesh Patel—both mechanical engineering students—accompanied Professor Sarah Meyland to the remote village of Oworobong in Ghana, where they evaluated ways to bring potable water to a local health clinic. The work was supported by in-house grants awarded to NYIT’s School of Engineering and Computing Sciences and the Center for Global Health.
