"To be successful is
to be helpful, caring,
and constructive-
To make everything
you touch a little bit better.
The best thing you
have to give is
yourself."

Five Putnam County high schoolers were among the thirty-six students selected to attend Marshall University’s Engineering Academy this summer. Twenty- six high schools from as far away as Washington state and Texas were represented at the week-long camp.
Putnam County students who attended were Kandice Gibson of Poca High School and Kirsten Cook, Shane Daly, Daniel Gilmore, and Alex Wilson of Hurricane High School.
The academy provided these students, who have an aptitude and interest in engineering, with an opportunity to meet, interact with, and learn from practicing engineers and engineering professors. They lived on campus and visited corporations that employ engineers, such as Toyota, West Virginia American Water, and Chesapeake Energy. In addition, they learned the importance of teamwork through completion of engineering projects.
The students, most of whom are rising juniors, were selected on the basis of grades, interest in and aptitude for engineering, and teacher recommendation.
