Vision
ESW is a national nonprofit organization with a network of professionals and students working to reduce poverty and improve global sustainability
o Includes over twenty-one campus chapters (e.g. California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, MIT, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, and UT-Austin, among others)
o Twenty-nine new campus chapters pending
* ESW-Stanford is a consortium of undergraduate and graduate students interested in applying engineering skills to address the challenges of developing communities in sustainable and culturally-sensitive ways. We welcome students from all disciplines and backgrounds. Concretely, we:

o School of Engineering
o Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
o Department of Mechanical Engineering
o Haas Center for Public Service
