The mark a person leaves on the world represents their legacy. Legacy is about the value we create for other people and places in the world. The story of a person's life reflects their legacy.
Who are you? How did you get here? How will you make a difference in the world through your life’s work?
When asked questions like these, many of us have no idea what to say….. We have never had the opportunity to be curious about ourselves, to make connections between our experiences and our growth, or to think about how we have been uniquely shaped to create value in the world.
Exploring LegaCs is a multi-institutional, story-driven learning experience for engineering students that explores these questions and equips students to tell their unique stories of growth, identity, and vision. Students will connect their stories and experiences to think about their legacy - the story they want to tell with their life’s work.
This is an 8-week experience that will meet virtually every Wednesday from 5-6pm (ET).

Dr. Cristi Bell-Huff
Ever since I was a little girl I have always wondered - "how do they make that?". From pondering how they mass produced my favorite cookies as a child to working as an R&D engineer figuring out ways to mass produce life-changing medications, my curiosity has always driven me to seek answers, look for ways to solve problems, and above all, care about other people.
Indeed, I value my years in pharmaceutical product and process development but along the way I discovered something about myself. I discovered my passion for influencing people when teaching at night as an adjunct faculty member. I found that I thoroughly enjoy exploring ways to teach and mentor people to enhance their growth as engineers. That's when I knew I needed to start living out my calling as an engineering educator.
I have taught aspiring engineers of all ages. I love engaging students as they discover the real joy of engineering is in solving challenging problems to help other people. I believe this next generation of engineers will be an integral part of solving some of the world’s toughest problems. This will only be possible by providing opportunities for them to develop into collaborative innovators who can work across disciplines in creative ways. In other words, the engineers of the future will need to combine a technical skillset to solve tough problems with a mindset that allows them to understand how best to collaborate and create value. Along my journey, I (again) began to wonder - "how do we make THAT?" Now I am on a mission to engineer the education of tomorrow's engineers.

Brady Bove Muñoz
I believe that engineering and poetry are related. In both, we are expressing a truth. For me, with engineering, I am using scientific truths to create solutions. With poetry, I am sharing the truth of the world that has been shown to me through my experiences. In everything I do, I aim to combine the lessons I have learned from engineering as a recent graduate from the Georgia Institute of Technology and an Optimized Operations engineer at 3M and from poetry as a published author. It is with this unique perspective that I tackle everything I do. I solve problems with math and technology, communication and empathy.

Charlotte Solak
My name is Charlotte Solak. I am a fourth-year engineering student at James Madison University. I have spent most of my life in rural West Virginia. Living in West Virginia has allowed me to embrace my sense of adventure. I enjoy spending time taking drives and exploring new places. My upbringing has shaped me to be kind, curious, and driven. During my years in college, I have used the time to embark on new adventures even if they end in what someone might consider failure. I took on a Chemical Engineering internship my freshman year. While I learned a lot from this challenge, the most important thing that I learned was that I wanted to explore different career options. During the global pandemic I was lucky enough to find a position as an outdoor adventure guide with an outfitter company. While embracing my love of the outdoors I have been able to network with brilliant minds while finding a true understanding of the Human Centered design process. Each guest that goes on a trip with me has different wants, needs, and requires a different experience than previous guests. This requires me to design new teaching methods and courses for each guest. In the future I hope to keep learning while making a positive impact on those around me.

Surreal Engtanglements: Essays on Jeff VanderMeer's Fiction
This edited collection approaches the most pressing discourses of the Anthropocene and posthumanist culture through the surreal, yet instructive lens of Jeff VanderMeer’s fiction. In contrast to universalist and essentializing ways of responding to new material realities, VanderMeer’s work invites us to re-imagine human subjectivity and other collectivities in the light of historically unique entanglements we face today: the ecological, technological, aesthetic, epistemological, and political challenges of life in the Anthropocene era. ...
Research Initiation:Exploring the Role of Story-Driven Learning to Foster Empathy in the Professional Formation of Engineers
Engineers solve challenging problems to help other people and better society. In order to design effective solutions engineers must employ empathy not only in their design process but also in their collaborative approach to problems. Fostering empathy in engineering students is critical for the continuing tradition of technical excellence and service to society that has characterized the professional formation of engineers in the past. Although difficult to quantify financially, empathy is an economic necessity that goes beyond responsible product design or innovation. ...

The Narrative Gym
The Narrative Gym by Dr. Randy Olson presents a new model for messaging and communication. It's a short, practical guide to the ABT Framework (And, But, Therefore) which needs to be on the desk of everyone crafting a message, essay, strategy, novel, campaign, proposal, presentation, screenplay, argument, joke, ballad, report … pretty much all communication.
There is no other book on the ABT Framework. There is no other analytical model for narrative structure like the ABT Framework. This is a new and unique resource. The ABT seems like something from elementary school and at its core is as old as the ancient Greeks, but the formulation only began less than a decade ago.

Leaving LegaCy
What will you leave behind that is lasting, meaningful, enduring? Fulfillment at work is more nuanced then simply the pride of achieving target after target, milestone after milestone, year after year. Legacy leadership isn’t standing out for being different, but making a difference…in someone’s life, in the fabric of your company’s business, in your community and causes that make you swell with emotion. Legacy isn’t reserved for senior leaders, but it is available for all of us. Who is better because of you? Not what…who? People will get dozens of good-enough bosses and co-workers, but legacy leaders shape us differently. What if your professional life had purpose? Not just for you but for many. What if your life at work mattered – not because of a place in an org chart, but really mattered to the people you work with? What if you created the conditions, the resolute mindset, the imperishable values for people, for teams to flourish long after you are gone? Your legacy isn’t just on when you want it to be. Legacy is always imprinting, always projecting, always molding, always shaping lives around us.

Think Again
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.

The Art of Gathering
In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive—which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play.
Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings—conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp—and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience.
