Day Rodriguez never imagined pursuing a post-secondary education when she was young, since her father was the only family member that attended college. Growing up in three different countries and various cities, Day’s journey led her to graduate high school early. Though she didn’t know what was next, one of Day’s high school teachers recommended that she apply to Utah Valley University (UVU). After hearing about the diverse and exciting opportunities at UVU, she decided to take the leap.
Day started at UVU and chose civil engineering as her major, “because it is the perfect mix of science and engineering, and it’s a field where I can see the effects of my work on my direct community. The civil engineering program at UVU has helped me achieve great goals!”
After graduating, Day hopes to work in transportation and infrastructure. UVU has provided her not just with a valuable education, but with the chance to develop her passions and make lifelong connections.
