At Notre Dame, Bryan is an AnBryce Scholar, a Questbridge Scholar, and a Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) Scholar. Bryan was also awarded a Gilman Scholarship to study abroad in Summer 2021, however, his study abroad program was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Outside the classroom, Bryan is involved with multiple clubs around campus. He is involved with various cultural clubs and activities on campus, including Ballet Folclorico Azul y Oro, Coro Primavera, and the executive board for the Latino First-Year Retreat (LFR). In addition, this year he will serve as president for Mariachi ND. His engineering pursuits have led him to join the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), for whom he will serve as president, and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). As a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, he competed in the Concrete Cornhole competition at the Great Lakes Student Conference, helping the club win third overall in that competition and win first overall in the conference. Bryan is also actively involved in intramural and interhall sports. Particularly, Bryan serves as co-captain of a Co-Rec indoor soccer team, Manatees are Elite. He is also a perennial member of Alumni Hall’s soccer and basketball teams and will serve his dorm as this year\'s Athletic Commissioner. In addition, on-campus he works as a Student Building Manager for Coleman-Morse and DeBartolo Halls, and he recently got promoted to Manager on Duty for RecSports’ sports programs. This past summer, Bryan worked as a Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) intern for Turner Construction, the largest general contractor in the US. As a VDC intern he was assigned to various projects, however, his main duties were to assist with sales pursuit efforts to win large construction contracts. His tasks included: creating 3D models using Revit for site logistics plans, assembling 4D schedule simulations using Adobe Premiere Pro, and utilizing Twinmotion for 3D model rendering. In the future, Bryan hopes to continue working in the construction industry and to explore the many roles that exist within a general contractor. In addition, after a few years of practice, Bryan hopes to have an opportunity to return to school to obtain a Master’s in Construction Engineering/Management or an MBA.
