Personal Bio Steve J. Horna

 

Steve Horna is an architectural engineering major in his 5th year at Penn State. Originally
from Queens New York, Steve was formally trainied in computer technology, graduating
from Brooklyn Technical high school with a degree in computer science. Later Steve
traded in the urban culture and loud city streets of his hometown for the tranquil and
scenic views of the Penn State, University Park campus. Quickly deciding that computer
engineering was not his career path, Steve took his love of art design, as well as his
proficiency in math and science to the architectural engineering program.

Steve became an active member of the Penn State community, becoming involved with
various student organizations, holding executive board positions in those organizations,
dancing in THON, becoming a peer mentor, working as calculus tutor, coordinating high
school outreach programs, and serving as a resident assistant in West halls.

Steve studied abroad in Rome, Ital for seven weeks. During this time he studied
architecture, history, cartography, and structural design of the ancient workd. Additionally
he completed a semester studio design project, focsuing on the "urban city". For his
education abroad experiences, Steve received a minor in architectural studies.

Steve was fortunate enough to work with Forrester Construction Company during
summer 2007 as a construction intern in the Hospitality business unit. During this time
Steve developed valuable technical experience as well as exposure to the construction
industry. Steve was also very fortunate to receive sponsorship from the Forrester team for
his senior thesis building, Shaare Tefila Congregation.

Steve will graduate in spring 2008 with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering focusing
in construction management.
