Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering
BYU civil engineering students and faculty won several awards from the 2020 Institute of Transportation Engineers Mountain District Conference. Students Logan Bennett, Camille Lunt and Bruce Wang won first place in the Traffic Bowl, a quiz challenging what students know about transportation engineering. The team of Natalie Gray, Sami Lau and Bruce Wang placed first in the Kell Competition, a competition to see who can create the most creative travel route using different types of transportation. Logan Bennett, Justin Hunter and Camille Lunt placed second in the Kell Competition. Awards also went to individuals, including the Outstanding Educator Award for professor Grant Schultz, Outstanding Undergraduate Award for Logan Bennett, and Outstanding Graduate award for Camille Lunt.
“The awards received are some of the most prestigious awards for civil engineering students who are focusing their studies on transportation engineering,” Schultz said. “This was the first year that these awards were given and to have the recipients of both student awards and the faculty award be from BYU speaks to the quality of students here at BYU and their ability to represent BYU in an exceptional way.”
College of Fine Arts and Communications
A BYU graphic design graduate was recently honored by The Design Kids’ annual competition. The competition, which helps new designers gain recognition in their field, appreciated McCall Keller’s monochromatic, “intriguingly playful,” “well-executed” and “confident” portfolio, judge Annie Atkins said. Keller currently works in Los Angeles as a brand designer for the creative agency R/GA.
Keller said his love of black-and-white art comes from how it “provides a different perspective than what we’re used to in the colorful world that we live in.” Keller also mentioned his admiration of his ancestors’ propensity for thinking outside the box.
“I want to live a life that makes future generations proud,” Keller said.
