2009 Education Symposium - November 5 & 6

The 2008 Annual Transportation Education Symposium at the Chaminade Conference Center in Santa Cruz was, once again, a huge success.  Thirty-seven students from universities around the state and professionals from all fields of transportation enjoyed two days of mentoring and sharing career experiences.

Students took home advice and personal contacts they will use throughout their careers.  Professionals returned to work engaged and refreshed by the eager enthusiasm of the students.

Like many of CTF’s programs, the Education Symposium would not be possible without the financial support of our co-sponsors:  Self-Help Counties Coalition; Caltrans; AECOM; Fehr & Peers; Kleinfelder; Mendoza Associates; PB Americas, Inc; and Parsons. Thank you.
