- Jesse Brookins, who graduated last week, won a Sustainable Building Program award from Coconino County for his poster, “From Trash to Treasure,” outlining a proposal to use recycled plastic to make low-cost housing materials. The project is designed to replace cinderblock and tin-roof dwellings in South African townships and poor communities in the United States. Brookins will receive $300 and free consultations for his project.
- NAU’s team recently won the public pitch portion of the Collegiate Wind Competition.
