Empowering Diversity in Engineering: Morrissey Goodale’s Commitment to Change

ACEC Research Institute Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship Fund

Recognizing the importance of building a diverse engineering workforce, we’ve partnered with the ACEC Research Institute to fund two new scholarships. These scholarships are all about promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the consulting engineering industry, and they’re specifically aimed at college and university students pursuing various engineering disciplines.

A diverse engineering workforce is not only a matter of expanding opportunities but also a catalyst for innovation and problem-solving. By leveraging a variety of voices and experiences, different perspectives can be harnessed to tackle complex engineering challenges. By funding this scholarship, we’re investing in a future where engineers collaborate to create groundbreaking solutions that benefit society as a whole. Embracing diversity and inclusion in engineering nurtures a culture of creativity, adaptability, and resilience.

These scholarships not only provide financial support but also act as catalysts for change. They create equal opportunities, inspire representation, enhance innovation, and fulfill corporate social responsibility. We applaud the outstanding scholarship winners who embody the positive change we are working towards and are confident that their contributions will drive innovation and progress in the engineering industry.
