The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering is proud to announce that Devin Rhoads has been selected as the recipient of the CEE Outstanding Graduate TA Fellowship for Spring 2025, based on exemplary student feedback from course evaluations.

Devin’s commitment to student learning and success has made a strong impression across the department. He is known for adapting his teaching to meet students' diverse needs and for helping them find meaning in complex material – especially in the field of transportation.

“The thing I enjoy most about being a TA is being able to guide students toward success; not every student learns in the same way, and each student presents a unique opportunity to approach teaching in new ways. It is always a pleasure when I can get students to find genuine interest in Transportation.”

In addition to his work in the classroom, Devin conducts research that leverages data from local transit agencies to improve user experience and inform better transportation design.

Please join us in congratulating Devin on this well-earned recognition. We are proud to have him as part of the SoCEE teaching team!
