How has the PKFEA program benefited your personal, professional, or academic growth?
The Peter Kiewit Foundation Engineering Academy has opened countless opportunities for learning and building meaningful connections in Nebraska. They consistently support my ideas and encourage my academic and professional growth. When I pursued studying abroad, PKFEA guided me through scholarships, prepared me for the experience, and supported my goal of exploring new cultures to bring my knowledge back to Nebraska.
