CHANGEMAKERS

A STANDOUT AMONG STUDENT VETERANS AND VILLANOVANS

Like many 18-year-olds, Los Angeles native Mark Griego 鈥�23 CpE recalls how he lacked motivation and direction as a new college student. After a stint in the Marine Corps and earning an associate鈥檚 degree at community college, Mark is now demonstrating impressive leadership skills as an undergraduate Computer Engineering major and mentor to other veterans at Villanova. He鈥檚 also the University鈥檚 campus representative for Next Step Inbound, through which he advises veterans who are considering applying to Villanova.

LEADING CIVILIANS AT LAKEHURST

When Kathleen Donnelly 鈥�84 ChE joined NAWCAD鈥攖he Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division鈥攊n Lakehurst, NJ, as a general engineer in 1984, she intended to stay 3 to 5 years. More than 35 years later she serves as executive director responsible for Lakehurst鈥檚 1,800 civilian personnel and budgets exceeding $1B. Their mission: to infuse modern technology across the entire spectrum of equipment needed to launch, land and maintain aircraft from ships at sea.

A WOMAN OF INFLUENCE IN ENGINEERING

Colleen Zagar 鈥�12 CE began her engineering career with Turner Construction in New York City in 2012, where she worked as an engineer and superintendent on the Whitney Museum. In 2019, she relocated to Turner鈥檚 San Diego office, where, in addition to her role as a senior project engineer, she is a member of the planning committee of the company鈥檚 Professional Women鈥檚 Group and serves as the office鈥檚 lead trainer. The San Diego Business Journal named her among its 鈥淲omen of Influence in Engineering 2021.鈥�

CREATING AND COMMERCIALIZING NEW TECHNOLOGIES

After four years of impressive activities and accomplishments at Villanova鈥攊ncluding top prize in the Villanova Student Entrepreneurship Competition鈥擥us Jenkins 鈥�16 ME earned master鈥檚 degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Engineering & Technology Innovation Management at Carnegie Mellon University where he was named a James R. Swartz Entrepreneurial Fellow. While considering his next startup venture, Jenkins is working as a software engineer for ShipBob, Inc. a 鈥渦nicorn鈥� in the ecommerce logistics provider industry.

BRINGING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE TO PERU

Peru native and Fulbright Scholar Hector Cuadros-Rojas 鈥�15 MSSE spent seven months in the U.S. learning English and two years earning his master鈥檚 in Sustainable Engineering. He then returned home to teach Civil Engineering, while also serving as translator and mentor to five faculty at Universidad Cat贸lica de Trujillo who are pursuing their Villanova Sustainable Engineering degrees. Meanwhile, Cuadros is continuing his own studies through Villanova Engineering鈥檚 doctoral program in which he is focusing his research on natural, sustainable materials for building structures.
