VINCENT MARSALA ’17, civil engineering

Superintendent at Turner Construction Company’06 to ’10, United States Marine Corps Bulk Fuel Specialist

Tell us about your career.I have worked for Turner Construction Company since June 2017 as part of the team managing the construction of SoFi Stadium, located at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. This will be home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers and will be the largest NFL stadium to date. As a superintendent for Turner Construction, I am part of a diverse team that oversees project safety, construction quality, site logistics and construction scheduling.

What was it like being a veteran and a student?Military service gave me a greater form of respect, discipline, leadership and maturity. We take pride in our work and put the mission first before ourselves. Being unselfish and willing to sacrifice allows us the ability to take on larger roles in any environment, even that of the classroom.

AVOID PESTICIDE USEUse safe pest management practices to limit the use of pesticides that may be harmful to bee colonies.

ATTEND FARMERS MARKETS Shop at farmers markets and purchase local honey, fruits and vegetables to support beekeepers and farmers.

SAVE THE BEESBees are essential to agriculture and farming, pollinating $15 billion in U.S. crops annually, according to Adjunct Professor Mark Haag. Recently, bees have experienced death and decline in their colonies. Here are a few ways you can help bees thrive.

DIVERSIFY YOUR GARDENPlant bee-friendly flowers such as sunflowers, marigolds, lavender and poppies.

ENROLL IN A BEEKEEPING CLASS Courses are offered at Cal Poly Pomona and through local organizations, such as the Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association and the Beekeepers Association of Southern California.

How did Cal Poly Pomona support you as a student veteran?For my first three years, my GI Bill benefits covered the cost of tuition. However, I exhausted those military benefits prior to graduating. I went to the Veterans Resource Center to seek counsel on obtaining additional financial assistance. I immediately connected with all veterans in the resource center, which led to employment at the center. This allowed me to participate in veteran outreach for the College of Engineering. I received scholarships, and it was truly a blessing in disguise. President Coley, her husband and the university do an amazing job in supporting our nation’s military veterans.

How do you give back to student veterans at Cal Poly Pomona? I have donated to the Veterans Resource Center, attended the Veterans Future Forward event as an alumni panel speaker, and was the keynote speaker for the 2018 incoming class of veterans. I also assist Turner Construction in recruiting veterans for our company.
