Fellow young alumni, the College of Engineering helped pave the path for success in our careers and now, the Young Alumni Philanthropy Council (YAPCO) unlocks a unique opportunity to guide us through this next phase of life where we can give back to the College and the next generation of leaders. Joining the Council provides an excellent avenue for remaining connected with the College, including opportunities to engage with faculty and staff, current and potential students, the top alumni leaders on the Dean’s Advisory Council, and other young engineering professionals. There has never been a better way to give back to the College of Engineering!
