On July 3 2017, Professor Erin Bell presented the Living Bridge Project to the civil and environmental
engineering faculty at the University of Johannesburg-Auckland. Professor Bell was in Johannesburg to
support the First Avenue Institute Winter Engineering Camp for Girls. She hopes to develop a research
collaboration between the two universities to continue to support the outreach mission. There was
significant interest from the faculty at UJ to collaborate on multiple components of the Living Bridge
Project.
