My name is Kira Schulze and I am currently a junior in Civil Engineering. I am originally from Osceola, WI. I have been in ELE since freshman year and have loved every second of it! I am club president and my goal for you is that after coming to our club you are well prepared to face any challenges engineering may throw at you. We want you to develop strong leadership skills and practice professionalism. In my free time I love to be outside, hang out with friends, and enjoy time on the lake. This past spring I attended Swansea University in Wales for a semester abroad. Please reach out with any questions about our club or getting involved! I hope to see you all at meetings!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Treasurer<\/h2>\n<h3>Victor Mendez<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-965 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-281x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-958x1024.jpg 958w, https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-768x821.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-1436x1536.jpg 1436w, https:\/\/www.engineering.iastate.edu\/ele\/files\/2026\/01\/edfe01be-6557-4a57-9bbb-140b44fea1d4-1-1915x2048.jpg 1915w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Victor Mendez, the treasurer for Emerging Leaders in Engineering.
