LANSING, MI—November 16, 2009 – C2AE is pleased to announce the establishment of an annual scholarship fund to provide scholarships for students at Michigan Technological University (MTU).
Richard (Rick) Beaupré, PE graduated from and earned multiple engineering degrees from MTU, including a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering. Rick began his career at C2AE (then Capital Consultants, Inc.) in 1975.
