Professor Michael McGuire’s capstone 8 crew has worked hard and dreamed big to develop a plan creating a trail system to enhance connectivity, sustainability, and community engagement along Bushkill Drive. #InsideTheClassroom Mike McGuire, professor of civil and environmental engineering and department head, says his students’ trail proposal could be the cornerstone of the connection between Easton, College Hill, and Lafayette College. “The motivating factor in choosing Lafayette is that the liberal arts education allows you to involve your work as best as you can to cater to the community and other human values beyond engineering. A project such as this reflects the power and possibilities behind a Lafayette education.” —Grace Gazza ’26
