Concerns

Trolls:
All Trolls (inappropriate messages, comments, and remarks) are to be
deleted immediately.

Portraying a Positive Message:

USUs Engineers Without Borders would like a positive and inspiring
message to be emitted at all times.

Self-Disciplined:
Laurie McNeill ,the faculty advisor for USUs Engineers Without Borders,
will not be keeping track of any social media posts, and therefore
requests a great deal of self-discipline and responsibility when
interacting on any social media platform.

Goals

Water:
Water is an important aspect of life for every living organism; therefore
Utah States Engineers Without Borders would like people to become
more aware about water.

Trips:
USUs Engineers Without Borders would like people to be notified about
past and future trips that the organization has and will be a part of.
USUs EWB trips are held primarily in Peru and Mexico.

Clarification:
The Organization would also like to clarify what they should do on their
next trip. They are hoping that as more people get involved with the
social media platforms, that more people will seek to join the program.
Bringing in more ideas will overall help in the process of answering
their big question, Where do we go from here?
