Hello I'm Louisa Essuman. A junior civil engineering student at the Milwaukee School Of Engineering and a member of the UIF 6th cohort for my university. I decided to join this program because I want to improve on my leadership and managerial skills as well as meet other students who are highly involved in campus activities. I believe that it's important to surround yourself with people who are not only interested in positive change but actively pursue it and in turn, add value to their communities. For my on campus project in collaboration with UIF, I'm working with my university's administration to purchase 3d printing concrete machine (s). 3d printing in the construction industry is slowly becoming a focal point. The industry is slowly relying less on man power and is finding alternative means to increase productivity in an efficient manner. As an aspiring civil engineer and an avid construction learner, I'll love the opportunity to learn how to regulate such machines. If this project progresses, MSOE will become one of only 15-20 universities worldwide with such technology on their campus!

Outside of school, I enjoy watching and playing sports such as soccer, basketball, track and pickle ball! I also enjoy documentaries where I get to learn about different cultures. On campus, I work in a 3d printing lab which is really fun. I get to teach students how to use the prusa 3d printing machines to print really cool plastic models. I'll be adding pictures of all of this in the very near future.

I'm super grateful and excited to be part of UIF and I can't wait to meet you all in person in the Netherlands in 2024.
