EERI U of T Chapter
The University of Toronto Student Chapter of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (UT-EERI) aims to promote the advancement and study of earthquake engineering by creating a connected community of undergraduates, graduates, professors, industry members, and the community at large through Chapter activities.
The role of all EERI Graduate Members includes: (1) organizing relevant academic and industrial guest speakers on research, application, and emerging issues on seismic design, seismic analysis, earthquake risk, loss prevention, life safety, and several issues; (2) supporting the Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition (SDC) Team in preparation for the EERI Annual SDC; (3) being active in the EERI and U of T community through volunteer work and networking; and (4) advocating improved understanding of the impact of earthquakes on the physical, social, economic, political and cultural environments through these activities.
