I learned a lot from being a part of this executive board, but I want to focus on one aspect today.
While I believe other events have helped students in a variety of ways, I also know that the majority of Sophomore Engineering student is struggling with at least one course.
I'll often joke about how Sophomore year is designed to weed-out the weak students before it's too late, although in my opinion there are a few correlating aspects that unequally distribute whether you succeed or not.

First and foremost, this is influenced by whether you have access to someone that has already completed whichever course you're struggling in; which is often noticed by those students that have been surrounded by caretakers, or even educators, that are kind enough to help as well as highly-educated. The main issue I have with this is that people naturally gravitate towards commonalities, and in many cases, professors fit into the same category as the students that already receive aid from family and friends.
I wanted to give the students with non-engineering friends, a lack of outside aid, or additional obligations a fighting chance; as well as facilitate the growth of the passion for biomedical engineering I've seen lost in many.
And I ovbiously could have done nothing without the friends that were always ready to help; for them I am very greatful ~
And what would then end of E-Week be without E-Ball?
The final 2019 Spring Semester BBQ between our student groups.
URI BME Alumni Panel with special guests from Ximedica, Boston Scientific, and Abbvie! It was honestly a pleasure to meet them.
Us looking professional to welcome the incoming Freshman and try to persuade as many as possible that BME is the right choice for everyone
