HLR Awarded ISPE's 2024 Best Place to Work

We are thrilled to announce that Michael Rolla III, son of Springfield Project Manager Michael Rolla, has been awarded this year's HLR Scholarship! Michael is currently a senior at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), where he is pursuing a degree in civil engineering with a specialization in structural engineering. His academic journey has been marked by exceptional achievement, consistently earning him a place on the Dean's List.  Beyond his academic success, Michael is deeply committed to his community. He regularly volunteers and has gained valuable hands-on experience as an engineering intern. Balancing part-time work during the school year with full-time internships over the summer, Michael exemplifies dedication and hard work. Looking ahead, Michael plans to further his education by pursuing a master's degree in structural engineering at SIUC, solidifying his foundation in this critical field. Michael shared his thoughts prior to receiving the HLR Scholarship: "This scholarship would be an investment in my future, allowing me to, like HLR, continue to work hard, have fun, and give back. It will enable me to excel academically, enjoy my time, and make meaningful contributions to civil engineering and my community." Congratulations, Michael! We wish you continued success in all your future achievements!
