Clarkson University's Construction Engineering Management (CEM) program has awarded the 2014-15 Ruston Paving Scholarship to a civil engineering student.
Jacob Bohnert '16 of Sherburne, N.Y., was selected for his academic achievements and student involvement throughout campus. He serves as the captain of the Steel Bridge Team, which is part of Clarkson's Student Projects for Engineering Experience and Design (SPEED) program.
"The satisfaction I felt knowing that someone understands and respects the time and effort put into my studies is irreplaceable, and provides the motivation to achieve greater," Bohnert said. "A Ruston Paving Scholarship is more than a monetary value -- it's a step toward the future for an internship or the beginning of a career."
Lang Butler, vice president of Ruston Paving, said Bohnert stood out as an applicant for his direct interest in the paving industry and his hands-on internship experiences.
"Mr. Bohnert is the kind of candidate that represents our vision for our scholarship recipient," he said.
Ruston Paving, a commercial and industrial asphalt paving and site work contractor, supports the Construction Engineering Management program at Clarkson through financial and other means. The professional concentration in Construction Engineering Management is available to civil engineering students to focus their electives on courses pertinent to the field of construction engineering management.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world’s pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and the health professions, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.
A special note of thanks to Annie Harrison, Clarkson University’s social media manager, who put together the press release.
