We're proud to be a Premier Sponsor of Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers and support opportunities that help make engineering and infrastructure topics more accessible to the communities we serve.

Through our BLINK: Infrastructure Explained series, we're helping break down complex topics like right-of-way and highlight their role in planning, maintaining, and improving public infrastructure.

Thank you to MnSPE for featuring this topic and helping expand the conversation around the important work engineers do every day.

Infrastructure surrounds us every day, yet much of it goes unnoticed. Roads, utilities, sidewalks, and public spaces quietly support our communities, even though many residents may not fully understand how these systems work or why they matter. For professional engineers, this gap in understanding can create challenges when planning, maintaining, or improving public infrastructure.

A great school environment extends beyond the classroom. 🌱

Andrew Plier and Leslie Brandt attended the Green & Healthy Schools Conference in Milwaukee, connecting with school leaders and industry professionals and exploring new ideas for healthier learning environments. A highlight of the day was touring the redeveloped schoolyard at Morse Middle School for the Gifted and Talented and seeing how outdoor spaces can support learning, connection, and community.

What does resilience look like in practice? That's a question explored throughout the International Summit on Coastal Resilience and Coastal Habitat Restoration, where experts from around the world gathered to share ideas, successes, and lessons learned.

We're grateful to the North Carolina Coastal Federation for hosting an event that fostered meaningful dialogue around the future of coastal communities and ecosystems. As part of the event, Jonathan Hinkle joined a panel discussion exploring resilience, restoration, and the growing role of nature-based solutions in addressing coastal challenges.

When you think about resilience, what's the first challenge or opportunity that comes to mind for your community?

What's summer without a little fun? This year, our locations have been checking all the seasonal boxes:

✅ Lemonade stand visit in Mankato
✅ Bismarck Larks baseball game
✅ National Intern Day cookout in Ames

The work we do is built on relationships, and sometimes the best way to strengthen those relationships is through a shared meal, a ballgame, or a cup of lemonade.
