For Fairfield Engineering students, spring break was an opportunity to put their skills into action and make a difference in Costa Rica.

Through Fairfield's Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Club, students worked on construction projects at Proyecto Bethany, installing drainage, moving materials, painting, and helping complete a concrete wall that had stood unfinished for two years.

Beyond the worksite, students immersed themselves in Costa Rican culture, built meaningful connections with their host community, and returned to Fairfield with a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to serving others through engineering. 🦌
