Biography
Justin Walkup is a civil engineering student from Fulton, Maryland, who looks forward to working with commercial development and urban infrastructure after obtaining his Ph.D. As a student in the Karsh STEM Scholars Program, Walkup wants to do research in civil engineering. His mother attended Howard and he says, after multiple visits and learning about the Bison STEM Scholars Program, he found Howard to be the place for him as well. He says he chose a STEM-related discipline because he has always been fond of mathematics and science and wants both subjects to play a part his career. Walkup looks forward to setting a standard for other African Americans in civil engineering to work in impoverished areas.
