UCD Teams Wins US EPA People, Prosperity, and Planet Competition for Sustainability Competition
Congratulations to two CEE design teams advised by Frank Loge. They just returned from Washington DC after a four day competition in the US EPA People, Prosperity, and Planet (P3) competition for sustainability. One of the two teams won the competition, the other took Honorable Mention. The team that won will receive $75k to build their system in L.A and continue for another year. Both teams were wonderful delegates for the University. They met Congressional members, the EPA Administrator and several Deputy Administrators, and others. They have a trophy that will be put on display. For more information on the award:
