Wirth, the joint UT-Oak Ridge National Laboratory Governor’s Chair for Computational Nuclear Engineering in the Tickle College of Engineering, was chosen for his contributions to nuclear engineering.

Our service project took place in a village by the name of Yaxunah. This was a small community undergoing a process of beautification to promote prosperity as well as attract tourists.
We work all morning on rebuilding walls made out of stones and use no mortar. We require the help of the locals to complete this task. I learn how bad at spatial reasoning I am, and the locals laugh at me good-naturedly.
Going from ruin to ruin was very awe-inspiring. Seeing the impressive structures they could build nearly two thousand years ago, such as the pyramids in Chichén Itzá or Uxmal, was a view that would stop you in your tracks.

The Engineering Global Initiatives trip to the Yucatán was an amazing experience I will never forget. From the food (I cannot overstate this) to the archeological sites, Mexico provided an opportunity for immersion in a wonderful culture with an absolutely incredible history. The most memorable parts of this trip were the interactions with the locals…
