![]() | Rachel LaCasse, President rlacasse@ltu.edu |
![]() | Francesca Montana, Vice President I am a third year student in the Architectural Engineering program, and I am loving it! The program has opened up so many opportunities for me. This summer I interned with SmithGroup in their electrical engineering department. I am also helping to begin the Phi Alpha Epsilon Architectural Engineering Honor Society at LTU this year. I'm a commuter student from Shelby Township, and I love to take pictures and play the piano in my free time. I also enjoy hanging out in E25 with my fellow AE's, so feel free to stop by and say hi! I'd love to get to know you better! |
![]() | Mike Paciero, PR & Event Coordinator I'm entering my third year in the Architectural Engineering program, part of the very first class of students to take it on. I very much enjoy engineering, sustainability, and renewable energy, and how they work together in a building. My campus involvement over the past two years has grown to be quite extensive. I have positions in the Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI), Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, a Residents Assistant in housing, as well as coordinating a new group on campus dedicated to the design, research and practice of student run, hands on projects at school. Feel free to contact me by email any time, I'm always open to learning from and helping others. |
![]() | Andrea Bedi, Secretary I am a third year student at Lawrence Tech and am currently a dual Architecture and Architectural Engineering major. I have really enjoyed my experience at LTU thus far, and am looking forward to the future it is creating for me. I am very active on campus with Architectural Engineering Institute as well as a member and office holder of Delta Tau Sigma sorority. LTU has provided me with the skills and assets to be a leader and team player. I have greatly enjoyed the career opportunities I have found through the campus and am thrilled with the possibilities! |
![]() | Tim Truitt, Treasurer I am a senior dual majoring in Architectural Engineering and Architecture and pursuing the Building Information Modeling and Computer Visualization certificate. I play an active role in both the Architectural Engineering Institute and the American Institute of Architecture Students. I live in Farmington with my family but still spend a lot of time on campus. I love learning anything and everything about buildings and in my free time I enjoy playing Disc Golf or simply relaxing with a good book in hand. |
