Congratulations to Mitch Hokanson, who was awarded a $16,000 scholarship from The Beavers Charitable Trust. The Dutra Scholarship is awarded to a student with experience in construction and who intends to pursue a career in the heavy construction industry. Mitch is a first-generation college student raised by a single mother, and is the father of a two-year-old son. According to Mitch, “I watched how hard my mother worked in order to make a better life for me which is why I know that whether I see it now or not, the work that I put in pays off later. Being a first-generation college student drives me because I realize that I am paving a new path for my family.” Read more: www.oit.edu/news/civil-engineering-junior-mitch-hokanson-awarded-prestigious-dutra-scholarship
