Career Inspiration of the Week:

As professionals we need to remember that self-care and prioritizing mental health is important to making us better civil engineers. Don’t be afraid to take a step back, walk away, or even sleep on a challenge you can’t get to seem pass. A little bit of mental clarity always helps to see the bigger picture and find solutions!

Quote of the Week:

The purpose of life is a life of purpose. ~ Robert Byrne

Purpose is found in your daily commitment to your personal and professional life. As civil engineers our work has so much purpose and that is something all civil engineers should be proud of. So, go and be the best civil engineering professional you can be!
