Student Group: Amateur Radio Club
President: Connor Stumperth, a fourth-year civil engineering student
Q: What is the mission of the Amateur Radio Club?
A: The mission of the Amateur Radio Club is to teach the practical applications of radio communication and to educate the student community on the technological and legal aspects of amateur radio through building projects and participation in radio communication.
Q: What events, gatherings and activities does the Amateur Radio Club host?
A: Our weekly meetings are the main activities that the club hosts, but we do have some events planned for next semester. We will be doing project builds at future meetings and a campus-wide radio direction-finding event next semester.

Q: Is there anything else you want to say about the Amateur Radio Club?
A: Despite the technical nature of the club, it isn’t just for electrical and computer engineering students. I am a civil engineering student and I feel right at home. If you are at all interested, feel free to join us at one of our meetings!
