We're celebrating Women in Construction Week, held earlier this month, by featuring seven FOD Design and Construction staff members. We salute these women for their contributions to campus construction and spotlight their advice to girls and women pursuing a similar career path.
“"Work hard, trust yourself, and view challenges as opportunities."”
“"Opportunities are endless. Work hard, and the sky is the limit."”
“"Don’t use your sex as an impairment. Use it to fuel the passion to achieve where you want to be. Once you get there, help others achieve their goals."”
“"Empower each other, let opportunities in, remember to break free from stereotypes. Learn the job better than anyone else (trust yourself)."”
“"You are going to get a lot of no’s, but don’t let that discourage you. Be persistent, confident and empower other women!"”
“"My advice would be to truly love building, stay focused, ask a lot of questions, and be prepared to work hard!"”
“"Don’t worry about being one of the guys and focus on being you."”
