Post Outreach
Philanthropic Outreach
Baltimore Post sponsors activities to assist veterans and other disadvantaged members of the local community. Our co-chairs for our philanthropy committee are Stacy Kahatapitiya, Arc Environmental and Andy Parker, AE Group.
Education Outreach
College Mentoring: The Baltimore Post has supported establishment of student chapters at the US Naval Academy (USNA) and Morgan State University (MSU). Through these student chapters our Post stays actively involved by mentoring students and their leaders. Our lead for the USNA Post is John Osborne, F.SAME. John also chairs and coordinates the annual Engineer’s Appreciation Dinner at the Naval Academy. Our student president and lead for the Morgan State University student post is Justin Taylor with support from Dr. James Hunter.
High School Outreach: Our “Day with an Engineer” shadowing program offers hands-on engineering experience to local Baltimore high school students at local engineering firms. Blaine Linkous of WBCM, chairs our committee.
Summer Camp: SAME offers Summer Camp experience to high school students in four venues. Allison Hines, ARGO, leads our summer camp program.
Middle School STEM Outreach: Baltimore Post sponsors local Baltimore Middle School students for a one-day event in the spring of each year: Easy as Pi. This STEM event includes students from most counties in Maryland who converge on the Engineer’s Club for hands-on instruction in STEM topics by multiple presenters. We had an astronaut one year! This event is coordinated/chaired by Ivy Harvey from EA and Rosemarie Potocky from Arcadis.
Communities of Interest
SAME’s Communities of Interest offer members a chance to engage nationally with other professionals focused on a particular technical field or demographic within joint engineering and the A/E/C industry.
