Yesterday, the group of us spent the day at ICC. Alex and Richie went with Nick to scope out Camp Rankine. The rest of us spent the day accomplishing random things that we needed to get done. One of the questions that came up was "what does IRE really mean to you?" To me, IRE is an opportunity. It's an opportunity with endless possibilities. All 14 of us have an amazing chance to show ourselves, each other, all the contributors and every one to follow our lead (both new IRE students and new programs that will start to arise) what we are truly capable of. I believe that we are incredibly lucky to be afforded this chance, and it already seems that we have a lot of potential and a lot of drive to really make this brand new program a success; to give this engineering program a face and a personality just by, not only living up to everyone's expectations, but by far surpassing them and doing things beyond what even the biggest dreamers dreamed we could do. I have faith in all 14 of us to achieve this. I have faith that throughout the two and a half years that we will be spending in this program together, we will grow immensely and we will prove ourselves to everyone involved.
