JENNA HERNANDEZ
FAIRBANKS, ALASKA CIVIL ENGINEERING
Jenna Hernandez had a key job in UAF’s student steel bridge competition this winter: backup parts runner. Hernandez, a first-year civil engineering student, passed steel pieces to team members on opposite sides of an imaginary river. She had to run, literally. “Oh yeah, because you want to be as fast as you can without stepping in the nostepping zone,” she said.
