Brook Woldegabriel, a graduate research assistant for the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, has been selected for the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program. Woldegabriel’s research is on bridge engineering with a focus on press-brake-formed tub girder bridges, a simplistic and affordable bridge model that was developed in part at West Virginia University.

As Director and Academic Adviser for the Statler College Advising Center, Michelle Poland has demonstrated passion and dedication to helping students throughout their academic journeys. Her commitment as an adviser recently earned Poland a Region 3 Advising Administrator Certificate of Merit from the National Academic Advising Association.

West Virginia University alumnus Bob Alban aims to boost the number of women working in STEM fields via a $50,000 scholarship gift to his alma mater. His daughters’ passion for curiosity inspired him to establish the Montshire Advisors Scholarship to Advance Women in STEM.

Dear friends and colleagues,

The New Year is here and full of excitement as we welcome back students for the spring semester here at the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources.

I know that our students, faculty, researchers and staff will accomplish great things in 2023, and we are already off to a great start. Our faculty, staff, and students continue to be recognized at the national level.

Michelle Poland was recently recognized by the National Academic Advising Association for her demonstrated passion and dedication to helping students throughout their academic journeys. Her commitment as an adviser earned her a Region 3 Advising Administrator Certificate of Merit, marking the first advising administrator award for WVU from NACADA, since the inception of its advising awards in 2005.

Furthermore, Brook Woldegabriel, a graduate research assistant for the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has been selected for the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program. The program recognizes the nation's brightest minds to the field of transportation and will support Brook as he expands upon his research on press-brake-formed tub girder bridges, a simplistic and affordable bridge model that was developed in part at WVU.

These are just a few examples of the outstanding achievements of everyone in the college. I continue to be incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication and all they do for our college and University.

It's a great start to the spring semester and I know more exciting things are on the horizon for us here at the College.

Let's Go!

WVU Engineers Week is approaching fast, and our engineers need your support! The nationally recognized week-long event is a commitment to making a difference year-round. The only event of its kind where we celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world; add awareness about the need for engineers and computer scientists; and engage students through team building activities, networking opportunities and K-12 outreach. Your support is greatly appreciated.
