Many student organizations have periods of hiatus over the years. But all it takes is one eager student to bring it back to life.
The University of Dayton School of Engineering’s — or the Baja team as they are known — is one of them.
“SAE International’s Baja competition has been around since 1976,” said Jeremy Price, vice president of the student organization. “We have spoken to UD alumni who competed in the 90s and early 2000s, but Dayton has not competed in many years.”
“Leave it better than you found it.” This motto has inspired Shaq Tensley ’15 to give back to UD as a volunteer, and it has served him in his global travels.
As we have all come back to campus for the start of a new academic year, the UD community is full of life. The campus is loud with the rustling sounds of a thousand footsteps; the academic buildings are packed with busy Flyers going to and from classes; the dining halls are filled with hungry stomachs, and the student neighborhood is lit up with front porch lights and lawn chairs. Much of the action is coming from the activities of SUA students who are networking with alumni, meeting with members of advancement, and encouraging a culture of philanthropy on campus.
