Weston University A look at Planning, Zoning, Civil Engineering and More Students from our Weston University high school program recently spent a day with Calvin, Giordano & Associates learning about career fields in disciplines they likely were not aware of such as planners, zoning officials, GIS coordinators, civil engineers, surveyors, and landscape architects. The day allowed the students to explore aspects of municipal planning and zoning. Students were privileged to welcome a distinguished alumnus, Marissa Neufeld, a proud graduate of Weston University's inaugural Class of 2002. Marissa initially interned at CGA in Engineering before embarking on a successful career as a Land Use Attorney. Without fail, she returns each year to engage with and inspire students during this special program day. She, along with all staff, encourages students to keep their minds open and explore a multitude of opportunities. |
