SKA spent another delightful zoom meeting with our Kennerly Education Initiative-KEI committee and a couple of engineering schools awarding two deserving engineering students and their professors.
The Kennerly Educational Initiative was developed to promote impactful educational opportunities for engineering students. This includes funding for conferences that may broaden students’ perspectives on the industry and provide meaningful experiences that carry them into successful engineering careers. KEI achieves this through relationships with exceptional faculty at institutions and engineering departments known for their outstanding values and dedication to the advancement of students in the engineering field.
Congratulations to Tim Staub, an undergraduate student at University of North Carolina at Charlotte‘s William States Lee College of Engineering. Tim was nominated by Tara Cavalline, PhD, PE, Professor in the Civil Engineering, Technology, and Construction.
Congratulations to Anindya Saha, a PhD candidate, graduate researcher and teaching assistant at North Carolina State University‘s College of Engineering. Anindya was nominated by his professors, Associate Professor Giorgio Proestos, Ph.D., P.E. and the Paul and Dora Zia Distinguished Professor, Rudolf (Rudi) Seracino, both from the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering.
They will be joining SKA’s David Tepke, P.E., FACI and Natasha Boger Workman PhD, EI at the American Concrete Institute 2026 Chicago Concrete Convention, March 29 – April 1st.
