“I will also always remember the many hours spent in Bishop-Favaro hall with fellow students studying for tests and completing projects. I have made so many great friends through the CEM Program and have shared so many laughs in BFH. I am excited now to see us all succeed and to come back for Hokie football!”
Brandon Mueller - BC Outstanding Senior
Brandon chose BC because he is an individual who enjoys immediate feedback and a sense of accomplishment after a project has been completed. “I liked how easy it was to network with individuals in the industry and the opportunities that are available through internships. Students are set up for success and almost always graduate with multiple full-time employment offers,” shared Brandon.
Brandon has signed full-time with Henderson Inc. in Williamsburg, VA where he will be pursuing a career as a Project Engineer.
Throughout college he has been a viable asset in the BuildLab. “While working in the BuildLab, I really enjoyed and will never forget the students and individuals who would stop in the lab between classes or before and after work. There were always great conversations and many lessons learned throughout my three years of working with the department.”
