WELCOME
Hello familia! I am Abril Perez Torres and I am the 2021-2022 President for the Chicanx and Latinx Engineers & Scientists Society affectionately known as CALESS. I am a current 5th-year student majoring in Civil Engineering. I have been apart of CALESS since my freshmen year. CALESS has helped me thrive in academic and professional areas and has led me to where I am today. We will help you grow academically, professionally, and socially. Come join our familia by signing up here and stay up to date with everything we have planned for this coming year.
