“I have been in the public works industry for 15 years, starting as a seasonal road maintenance worker for Vernal City to my current position of the Street Superintendent for Vernal City. I am an instructor for Utah LTAP, and I teach Flagger Certification and Traffic Control Certification, classes. I have plans to continue to be a part of public works and the asphalt industry, which I believe is a big part of increasing the quality of living for others.”

Derek Robinson, Attending Salt Lake Community College in Construction Management

“I have been working in the asphalt industry in a quality control lab for about six months. Being in the asphalt business is way more than just laying down rocks and throwing some oil in there with it. After getting my degree, I hope to be able to have a job within the asphalt industry here in Utah. I am excited about continuing my education and growing my skillset within the industry.”

Kaylee Bunderson, Attending Utah State University in Civil Engineering

Expected to Graduate in 2025

“I am excited and eager to learn about all the aspects of road design. As a child, I remember hearing a story from a well-respected engineer I know, about how a highway will sing a tune when you hit rumble strips at a certain speed while driving down the road. I also learned in my engineering classes that with the latest development of technology, they are now looking into the prospect of developing roads that will charge electric cars as they drive down the road.”

Khevar McLeon, Attending Southern Utah University in Civil Engineering

“The community that I grew up in had nothing but dirt roads. In Jamaica, it rained often, and with the rain came muddy roads. This was a huge challenge for our community, especially for us children, who would have to walk these muddy roads to get to school. I still remember the first paved road in our community. That day sparked a desire to study civil engineering, and today I have a special interest in materials testing.”

“Currently, I am working for Sunroc as an intern. We recently finished paving the Parowan airport. This was a wonderful experience that showed me a different side of paving that wasn’t a roadway. I have really enjoyed getting to see all the different types of paving and how the process differs between the various types of paving.”
