Meet David
David Volk is currently in his 5th year of study in the Architectural Engineering Program at Penn State University. In May 2020, he will graduate with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree, with a focus in construction systems. David is a member of a number of professional and student organizations including the Penn State Chapter of the Architectural Engineering Institute (Student Society of Architectural Engineers), and the student chapter of the United States Green Building Council. Outside of academics, David’s hobbies include traveling, hiking, listening to music, spending time with his friends and family, and cooking.
In the past two summers, David has participated in a construction management internship with Reynolds Enterprises. He worked on site and gained valuable experience interacting with the entire project team. During this internship he honed his communication and problem-solving skills while assisting with project coordination. After his 2018 summer internship concluded, David stayed on the project part time while also balancing the workload from his courses. In the summer of 2019, David achieved his OSHA-30 Certification. He plans on using all the information learned in his future career in the construction management field.
