The EU students commented on the value of these scholarships. Ms. Freire stated, “I have gained valuable hands-on experience and foundational knowledge in project planning, execution, and management. This experience has not only solidified my passion for construction but has also prepared me to excel in my future endeavors, I am committed to earning my degree in construction management, which will equip me with the advanced knowledge and skills necessary to further my career. This opportunity brings me one step closer to realizing that dream, and I am profoundly appreciative of this opportunity.”
Mr. Gutierrez stated, “Every day, I learn something new, whether it’s about project planning, team coordination, or problem-solving on the job site. This role has increased my passion for the construction industry and my commitment to advancing my skills and knowledge. I aspire to lead projects that not only meet but exceed client expectations through innovation, sustainability, and quality workmanship.”
Everglades University’s President, Kristi Mollis commented, “We thank CASF for allowing us to participate in this wonderful event and for their continued support of our construction students.
