This photo captures a defining moment at the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Competition in Dallas, Texas, where my team earned 2nd place.

How has the PKFEA program benefited your personal, professional, or academic growth?

The PKFEA program has been foundational to my success. It provided an immediate community before my freshman year, easing my transition into college.
