SUMMARY:Celebrating Morgan Dawkins\, 2025 PAE Scholar
DESCRIPTION:Join AFO and PAE at a virtual celebration for our inaugural PAE Scholar\, Morgan Dawkins.\nSpend your Friday lunch hour meeting Morgan and learning more about the annual $5\,000 PAE Diversity in Engineering Scholarship! \nMorgan Dawkins (she/her) is an Architectural Engineering major with a specialization in construction at Penn State. She believes that engineering plays an important role in creating equitable solutions and is passionate about protecting marginalized communities through disaster-resilient infrastructure. \n“Growing up in Rocky Mount\, North Carolina\, I saw the vulnerability of communities like mine to natural disasters… The state’s vulnerability\, particularly in flood-prone areas like Rocky Mount\, really kickstarted my desire to specialize in resilient and sustainable building structures.  \nBy focusing on inclusive and sustainable designs\, I believe that engineers can tackle issues such as climate change\, while also addressing the socio-economic disparities that often exacerbate the effects of environmental challenges… I plan to use my degree to design structures that not only address climate justice but also create opportunities for everyone to be successful in a sustainable and resilient future.” – Morgan Dawkins\, 2025 PAE Scholar \nCelebrating Morgan Dawkins\, 2025 PAE Scholar\nFriday\, July 18\n12:00-12:45pm\nZoom \nRegister Now

He believes in the power of social enterprise to bring increased investment into breaking the cycle of poverty. He joined Hacienda because he shares the same values and experiences with this community and is eager to empower families to flourish like his own has.   \nErnesto is infused in impactful community work through his current board service with the Oregon Community Foundation and the iSector\, as well as past board service with the Prosperity Agenda\, the Energy Trust of Oregon\, Housing Oregon\, and more. He is also one of the Gubernatorial Appointees for Governor Tina Kotek’s Housing Production Advisory Council\, a council of experts charged with developing an action plan to meet ambitious housing construction goals.
