UT Mentoring Program

This year YMF will be reaching out to UT students and serving as mentors to senior level engineering students offering direction and guidance in their area of expertise on three selected City of Austin projects. The goal of this experience is to provide students a practical working sense of the intricacies on working on a city project from start to finish, an opportunity that is not always given to civil engineering students.  It also provides an opportunity for our profession to give back to our community.  The projects are as follows: Barton Creek Bridge Project, Upper Boggy Creek Trail Project, Northcross Connection Project.  For more information about the mentoring program and opportunities for volunteering contact Ty Womble, E.I.T., LEED AP at tWomble@Halff.com.
