I loved coming together with other engineering majors to study and find ways to broaden our knowledge … I am beyond grateful to Dr. (Andres) Garcia for ensuring that students had every resource to be successful. Professor Aws Al-Shalash was always encouraging and pushing me to new levels.

UT Tyler granted me opportunities throughout high school (University Academy – Longview) and college. The support system and extracurriculars available allowed me to thrive. The American Society of Civil Engineers concrete canoe competition, in particular, was the highlight of my college experience. I am glad to have represented UT Tyler at a national level twice.
