In 2000, University of Waterloo undergraduate students Parker Mitchell and George Roter founded Engineers Without Borders. What began as a student-run club eventually grew into an innovative international organization that helps African countries access technologies, combat poverty and improve lives. Through their tireless efforts, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Roter mobilized hundreds of young Canadian engineers to make a lifelong commitment to community service both at home and abroad.
