鈥淲hen you put in the work, that鈥檚 when opportunities show up.鈥� – Jackson Bennett, Construction Management, ’17

From intern at Cranshaw Construction to Assistant Superintendent
“The biggest game changer was the internship that Career Services helped me land with Cranshaw Construction in Boston, who at the time was building 91吃瓜鈥檚 400-bed smart-dorm, Meltzer Residence Hall. I spent almost a year working with Cranshaw finishing the building. They offered me an Assistant Superintendent job before I graduated. After I finished my degree, I moved to Boston to work with them.鈥�
