When it comes to inspiring the next generation of civil engineers, representation is so very important.

Jose Castro, an assistant engineer in water resources for Michael Baker International in Irvine, California, tells his story of both how he was inspired to pursue civil engineering when he was a student and how he now inspires students through outreach work (1:52).

In Extracurricular, we hear from Ashlyn Alexander, who has an interesting, athletic, team-building hobby outside of her day-to-day work as a road and highway engineer for Parsons (11:33).

And in Member Memos, we hear what compels civil engineers to volunteer their time (15:28).
