"I am thankful to Columbia’s Civil Engineering Department as the experiences and lessons I received have changed my life for the better. The exposure I gained at Columbia introduced me to the network I now have and the industries that I want to continue exploring. The top three skills I gained as a student that I am still leveraging today as a professional include speaking up, perseverance in my work and focus, and the confidence to present and share my ideas in an articulate manner.
-- Christopher Guilcapi, MS in Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics, Construction Engineering & Management Concentration (2019), Senior Consultant at Turner & Townsend
