Khoi Phu Pham from Vietnam |
Khoi Phu Pham came
to Green River from Vietnam in December 2005. He decided to change
his major from Architecture to Civil Engineering after finding out
that Green River has one of the best engineering programs in
Washington State.
"I got really excited about the subject after
taking the introductory courses. My instructors, Jeff McCauley and Janet Ash really
inspired me. They have a lot of pride in what they do and are great
role models to the students. They not only care about our academic growth, but
also our personal growth. They have taught me how to be better
organized and to work effectively individually as well as in teams. They have given me a great
foundation that goes beyond engineering and I know that I will be just as
competitive as students
who started out in a top four-year university."
Khoi plans to concentrate on structural engineering. His
goal is to transfer to UC Berkley or UCLA this coming September.
Khoi maintains a 3.87 GPA. In addition to his
studies, he is involved in student government and various activities
on campus. He was the recipient of the Paul G. Dong scholarship for
engineering students, and honored at the 13th Annual
All_Washington Academic Team celebration this past March. |
