Chi Epsilon is the honor society for the civil engineering professionals.

Kari noted, “Being the keynote speaker at a in person banquet after the year these students have endured and to know that this room is the future of our profession was an honor and privilege. The students that attended this conference are the best of the best and I just hope that my experiences and advice will provide inspiration to challenge themselves to strive for greatness.”
