Long time supporters of CEE, Charles and Janet Seim, have generously agreed to designate a $100K gift as a challenge match for raising funds for the Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Leadership Endowment (CEESLE). All donations to CEESLE will be matched dollar for dollar by funds from the gift.
About the Seims
Charles Seim distinguished himself in 3 careers, the first being a 25-year career building bridges over the San Francisco Bay for the agency that eventually became known as Caltrans. His second 25-year career was designing large bridges in the Western Hemisphere and China for T.Y. Lin International. His third and final career for the last 8 years is working as a Consulting Bridge Engineer.
Charles says, “My career was possible only because I was fortunate enough to graduate in civil engineering from the University of California by working my way through as I had no financial support. In return for our wonderful life, Janet and I want to assist students who have dreams, but little financial resources to support themselves in obtaining an engineering degree.”
CEESLE history
Begun with generous contributions from CEE Advisory Council members, the >Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Leadership Endowment (CEESLE) will help provide reliable funding for CEE student activities and the Professional Development Certificate Program, critical components of the education process at CEE.
