Student Contacts

We, Megan Connolly, James Kaminek, and Arin Stasco, are the student representatives for this Capstone project.  We are the authors of this website.  We are all Engineering Studies Majors with various interests in other areas of the college, including mathematics, architecture, and athletics.  Our connection with the Lafayette College Athletic Department branches from each of our involvement in athletics at the college, whether it be Varsity, Club, or Intramural.  When asked as a part of our Senior Capstone Course to develop a project that would build bridges between the engineering department and another group on campus, it seemed a perfect fit for the three of us to work together to create something that incorporated our interests in both engineering and athletics, because we believe that it is a combined interest that many other students share.  Although we will be graduating in May of 2014, we will serve as the main contacts for this course implementation until another student takes over the project.  Feel free to email any of us at connolmm@lafayette.edu, kaminekj@lafayette.edu, and stascoa@lafayette.edu, respectively.
