November is already here!

Every month goes quicker and quicker it

seems.
With November comes more pumpkin spice, basketball and of course
Thanksgiving. And most importantly, the true Pittsburgh cold will be
upon us shortly, so maybe well get to see some snow this month. We
have a former Disney Imagineer named Mark Hickson coming to present at Pitt this month! More information for this can be found on page
3.
As always, the Enginews is brought to you by Pitts Engineering Student Council (ESC). As the SSOE umbrella organization, it is our goal
to keep you informed and help you get involved!

What Is ESC?
Engineering Student Council is a close-knit organization that
encourages both social and professional growth for our members. We achieve this with a variety of activities held each
year. We were awarded Best Engineering Student Council in
the nation in 2014 and plan to accomplish even more this year!
We accept applications for membership on a rolling basis
more information on joining ESC can be found on our website!

Pitt faculty, get insider scoops about the engineering school, collaborate with peers on technical projects, and make lasting friendships.
