Godiva’s story is one of self-sacrifice and devotion to the benefit of society. She is the epitome of the character traits that are required of every Engineer. She understood that her duty to her citizens was more important than her own feelings and desires. Now, the Engineer’s integrity must be maintained because in this day and age, money is too often taking precedence over safety and public good. She embodies the spirit of our noble profession, and we should take heart from her story to stand up for what is right in the face of adversity, instead of being passive spectators. And thus she has become an icon for Engineers everywhere. | Godiva’s story is one of self-sacrifice and devotion to the benefit of society.
