As part of the Civil Engineering Professional Advisory Council (CEPAC) program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), the Infrastructure Engineering Scholarship was established by CEPAC member Michael Sutton, President of Infrastructure Engineering, Inc. (IEI). Clarice Lyons Davidson and Latisha Bell, both of IEI, awarded the scholarship to a high performing civil engineering student, and member of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).
CEPAC enhances the undergraduate experience in civil engineering by creating connections for UIC students in the professional community, providing an industry perspective on the curriculum, and participating actively in student projects and activities.
