Civil and Construction Engineers, We are looking forward to seeing you today at 3:30pm in Hampton 1144 to celebrate the 2025 CEGSAC Emerging Leader Brandon Hardin. He will be giving his lecture on how to stand out with excellence as an entry level engineer. There will be a reception in Wood Common afterward and Sandwiches will be served! This is a very unique opportunity to hear from an engineer so close to you in timeline. Reminder that there is no Structures Seminar, so come to this presentation instead! Brandon earned a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering in 2017 and a Master's degree in Civil Engineering in 2019 with a focus in Transportation from the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering. He is currently an Operational Excellence Manager at Irving Materials IncCEG. Because of his momentous work in industry, efficient problem solving, and commitment to student development, we have chosen Brandon Hardin as the CEGSAC 2025 Emerging Leader. Brandon will be back at Purdue so that he may speak to us and share his experiences, challenges, and knowledge from industry. To learn more about Brandon, please see the attached biography.
