🌍💧From Virginia Tech to Kenya 🌍💧 Clean water. Global connection. Lasting impact. Through Engineers Without Borders, Ansley Bearden - a senior in Industrial Systems Engineering (ISE) - helped bring clean water to the Masara Steel Community, an experience that transformed her both personally and professionally. What began as a service project became a powerful lesson in gratitude, community, and the global impact of engineering.
