Managing a budget provided both by the Affinity Housing program and the College of Engineering, the E & I House was able to provide residents with opportunity to learn from successful designers, innovators, and makers through speaker dinners and off-campus trips.As a fellow, Alex has organized events such as Bucknell Innovates, a 24-hour design competition, as well as multiple pop-up workshops centered around design thinking and creativity.
