This year’s recipient was Lancelet Jackson Kennedy, a senior Construction Engineering Student at Purdue University. Lancelot has been working in construction since 2012 for several different companies including Innovative Pipeline Solutions, Water Reclamation District of Great Chicago and the Superior Construction Equipment/Estimating Division.

He also showed exceptional leadership skills through numerous activities:

By seeking out new opportunities, Lancelot has gained experience in underground utility rehabilitation, heavy construction and several foundation methods.
