Join the co-Chairs of CSE Career and Professional Development Committee as they discuss the purpose of the podcast and interview Dana Compton, the past-President of CSE and Managing Director and Publisher at American Society of Civil Engineers. At the time of this recording, CSE was in the midst of transitioning the 2020 CSE Annual Meeting to a virtual format, and Dana was serving as CSE President and Editorial Director at ASCE. During this inaugural episode, Dana discusses how she has navigated the publishing industry, the upcoming first ever Virtual CSE Annual meeting, and shares her favorite CSE memory. Although much has occurred in the intervening time, this episode’s key points are still very relevant as we continue to navigate our rapidly changing time.
