Geoffrey Morgan, who received his bachelor’s in international studies and civil engineering in 2011, was recently named a Young Engineering Laureate by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations for leadership in progressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals through engineering.
“Being a student in the Jackson School program provided me with a more holistic worldview which allows me, in my current position as an engineer at the UN, to think more broadly of the impact that infrastructure has on the people that it is intended to serve,” Morgan wrote to us when we learned of his award. “This makes the infrastructure that I work on more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive which helps countries achieve their development aspirations as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.”
