Best of luck and huge thank you to our summer intern, Dan Pawluczyk!
This summer we were lucky enough to have Dan Pawluczyk return for his FOURTH summer internship at MBC. 🥳 Most notably, he was stationed over at Ancillae Assumpta Academy for the last few months assisting our Superintendent and field crews with various day-to-day responsibilities and material ordering. Just ask him about alllll the specialty lighting! 💡 Dan has been a great addition to the team and handled any task thrown at him. MBC’s internship program offers the ability to work alongside MBC staff whether in the field or our main office (or both) and hopes to provide a professional hands-on experience for college students aspiring to learn in the AEC industry.
Dan has helped with many projects over the years through his summer internships including his alma mater Holy Ghost Prep when we built the school’s new Holt Activities Center.💪 Dan will be returning back to school this fall {virtually} for his fifth and final year at Penn State pursuing a degree in Architecture. 👨🎓 Best of luck to you Dan, you are welcome back anytime! #mbccares#mbcfamily#buildingontrust#danistheman#internship

— Dr. Seuss
But first…lemme take a “maskfie”
MBC Cares – In addition to beefing up the PPE for our field crews, MBC made sure our remote staff was covered too in their own at home “branch offices”. Custom masks were graciously homemade by Anne McDonald and mailed out to our entire MBC team. Protected in style!
