Jackson Lucas

Degree

B.S. in Construction Engineering and Management

Why did you choose Virginia Tech?

"I wanted to attend Virginia Tech because the school and academics revolve around research and practical real world applications. No other university I looked into had anywhere near as much impact on their local community and greater research community. I also love the history and traditions that the school embraces."

Why did you choose Construction Engineering and Management (CEM)?

"I chose CEM because of the wide variety of career paths it provides."

Career Goals

"My career goal is to start my own company and thrive."

What would you tell students who are interested in joining the Myers-Lawson School of Construction (MLSoC)?

"I would tell in coming MLSoC students to get to know the professors. We are lucky to have many professors that have not had an entirely academic career. Many of them have years of experience in the industry and can help you figure out how you want to start your career."
