LOS ANGELES - Californer -- UCLA student Adria Stauber was announced as the recipient of the $5,000 BYD Build Your Dreams scholarship during the annual WTS-LA (Women's Transportation Seminar) Scholarships and Awards Dinner. Stauber was recognized alongside like-minded individuals looking to pave the way for women in transportation-related fields this past Wednesday.
Stauber is a student at UCLA's Masters of Urban and Regional Planning Program where she is pursuing a double concentration in Transportation Policy and Planning, and Design and Development.
"After graduating from UCLA's Urban and Regional Planning Master's Program, I hope to grow my career in transportation planning, working with local transit agencies to integrate sustainable transportation systems into the built environment," Stauber shared. "This scholarship will help support me in my educational journey at UCLA, alleviating the financial burden that can accompany the pursuit of higher education."
