About
Starting Fall 2023, the College of Engineering and Applied Science is introducing Engineering Connections (EC), a holistic residential academic experience for all first-year students designed to build a strong engineering community that supports student success and retention through graduation.
We will kick off the 2023-2024 academic year with a new campus tradition: A class picture on the Willams Village lawn, followed by a BBQ with fun outdoor activities!
Join us in prepping and supporting the launch of the Engineering Connections community at Williams Village!
