Hello there, I hope this message finds you in good spirits especially during this challenging period. Firstly, let me introduce myself. I am Elliot Matare, a private broker with Metropolitan Asset Manager in South Africa. I am privately contacting you because one of my high profile clients is interested in investing abroad and has asked me to look for individuals and companies with interesting business ideas that he can invest in. He has an interest in investing a very substantial amount abroad. I got your email contact through an online business directory and I thought I'd contact you to see if you are interested in this opportunity. Do you or your company have new or existing projects that require funding? If so, kindly get back to me so that I can give you more details and we can also plan a strategy that will be beneficial to all parties. Please also indicate your direct mobile and whatsapp numbers for an easier communication. Best Regards, Elliot.

I am writing to ask if you would let your students in the Humanitarian Engineering Program at OSU know that we have 2 internships opening up at Burn Design Lab in January. These are for 6 + months duration. One is centered around cookstove testing, along with some prototype building - & possible design depending upon the applicant. The other is mechanical engineering working on cookstove design &/or cookstove manufacturing systems development. Both of these are volunteer/unpaid, but we to arrange for and pay for housing, plus provide a small stipend for food. These might fit some of the interests of students in your department.

HEST/ANTH 201 "Innovation for Social Impact" offered Winter 2022
by MacCarty, Nordica 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

The Colleges of Engineering and Liberal Arts are pleased to co-offer HEST/ANTH 201, "Innovation for Social Impact" this Winter term. This project-based course will provide a fun and engaging opportunity for students interested in “making a difference” to identify their unique skills and passions and learn how to apply them to a specific problem in a community of their choosing. By stepping through the design process with a specific focus on user needs and impacts, innovation becomes both more tangible and more effective. With support from instructors in engineering, anthropology, and entrepreneurship, lectures and activities will lead students along the path to sustainable and effective inventions. Please forward this to any students or lists who may be interested, and feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks and have a great weekend all! ~Nordica Nordica A.

Invitation: Social justice reading group for students
by MacCarty, Nordica 21 Sep '21

21 Sep '21

Greetings friends of humanitarian engineering. This reading group focused on social justice may be of interest to you and/or your friends and students: Engineers That Read (ETRE) I am writing to invite you to join ETRE (Engineers That Read), a community of students interested in discussing the role that engineering plays in systemic racism and related topics. This is a space for students to grow through conversation, and a space to discuss how racialized topics shape our responsibilities as engineers. As such, this will be a student-facilitated discussion group where 1-2 different members of the group will co-facilitate a meeting each week. Since its inception in fall 2020, we have read and discussed Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Davis, The Origin of Others by Toni Morrison, and Black, Brown and Bruised by Ebony O. McGee. This fall, ETRE will read Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code by Ruha Benjamin. We hope to schedule the first meeting before the start of the fall term so that we can end before things get busy with midterms, final projects, and/or finals. During the first meeting, we will collectively determine the meeting schedule for the fall (for both in-person and virtual meetings). Please sign up here if you are interested in learning more and to indicate your availability for the first meeting: https://beav.es/3j7<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeav.es%2…> Questions?

Conversation on Container-Based Sanitation this Friday
by MacCarty, Nordica 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Good morning all, Below please find information on a presentation coming up this Friday by PhD student in Environmental Sciences, Froggi VanRiper, regarding her work on Container-Based Sanitation in Urban Haiti. Kindly, ~Nordica Nordica A. MacCarty, Ph.D. (she/her/hers) | Assistant Professor | Richard & Gretchen Evans Scholar of Humanitarian Engineering | School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering | Oregon State University Office: 312 Rogers Hall | Mailing: 204 Rogers Hall | Corvallis, OR 97331 | Mobile: 541.684.4540 Our third brief online forum of 2021: No place to Poop! - Researching Sustainable Urban Sanitation in Northern Haiti [https://mcusercontent.com/21434ae9d46c3bfdf376a157d/images/f5862873-435d-4a…] We are happy to announce a conversation with Froggi VanRiper during our ESGP Weekly Meeting. Everyone is welcome to join. Friday, February 26th at 1:00pm (Pacific Time) via Zoom In Haiti, nearly 20% of the population has no access to a toilet. Even where toilets are available, excreta drains to the environment without treatment. Container-based sanitation (CBS), a newly emerging solution for urban sanitation coverage, is changing this landscape. Quick to deploy, and requiring no prior infrastructure, CBS provides household toilet access, and achieves safe treatment and reuse of excreta. Froggi will illustrate key findings, and discuss the process of conducting international field research in a formerly colonized country, followed by an opportunity for participant Q&A. Froggi VanRiper is a PhD candidate in the Environmental Sciences Graduate Program at Oregon State University, with a focus on humanitarian engineering. Her doctoral research centers around resource-oriented sanitation systems for dense urban settings in formerly colonized countries. Working in collaboration with the international Container Based Sanitation Alliance (cbsa.global) and SOIL in Haiti (oursoil.org<https://oregonstate.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=21434ae9d46c3bfdf376a…>), Froggi spent the summer of 2019 in Cap Haïtien, Haiti, studying the impacts of the EkoLakay container-based sanitation service on the health and wellbeing of the metropolitan community. Her research has been presented to the national government of Haiti, and is influencing ongoing sanitation planning for the Cap Haïtien metro area.
