Talented student pursuing growth, opportunities

Nah'Shon Williams' mother encouraged him to take a construction class his sophomore year in high school because he was always creative and liked working with his hands. Williams was captivated by what he learned, and he signed up for the school’s second-year construction program, in which he and his classmates built a house. He started exploring construction management programs – and Purdue was on his radar.

“Construction management will help me get to that point with the technical knowledge of how things go,” he said.
