UCLA Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Student Announcements

Join us for lunch this Tuesday, January 23rd, from 4-6PM in Boelter Hall Room 4275 to listen in on the following research topic presented by Ph.D. candidate Hua Kang: "Modeling post-earthquake recovery of residential communities." This research is directly applicable to the Los Angeles County community resilience surveys our chapter will be conducting during this year. Specifically, Hua will be hosting this as a training session for students interested in assisting with the surveys, detailing the actual survey questions and how to guide non-technical people through the process of completing the survey without bias. All undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to attend, and lunch will be served! If you have any questions regarding the event or anything else, please feel free to contact uclaeeri@gmail.com at any time. Hope to see you all there!   RSVP here - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgYOIXlWN-DomYfGVZuazf7BRbHZZyKrfcKPVUt5sTYr_26Q/viewform
