We had a great time with Joseph Good, Principal of Langan Engineering & Environmental Services in Chicago office, and Calvin Dons, a staff engineer. Both are UIUC alumni who came back to campus to give us an incredible presentation! They walked us through the Wauseon Solar Farm project with RWE, shared insights on renewable energy systems, and talked about Langan’s leadership work and initiatives. A huge thank you to Joseph and Calvin for making the drive all the way from Chicago to be here with us. Hope everyone enjoyed and gain some inspiration!
