The CR2C2 Student Leadership Council (SLC) is grateful to CR2C2 and the Transportation Institute at NCA&T for providing us with the opportunity to engage with this year's Summer Transportation Institute (STI) cohort during their facility tour. Our SLC Chair, Komal Gulati, had the privilege of concluding this inspiring day by presenting her personal journey in transportation and offering career guidance to these rising juniors and seniors as they explore opportunities in our field. As the SLC, we deeply appreciate CR2C2's commitment to nurturing the next generation of transportation professionals and are proud to contribute to fostering early interest in transportation innovation among these talented young scholars.
