The University of Âé¶¹´«Ã½i at ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ has awarded more than $100,000 to fund student projects and club activities.
Eleven projects led by 150 engineering students received a total of $75,000, and more than $25,000 went to clubs and other student activities. Funds were generated by the college¡¯s 2019 Annual Banquet, its largest annual fundraiser. Banquet sponsors included local industry partners, alumni and other friends of the college.
