After Becker completes the lineman program he wants to come back to Riverton to work for an electrical company.

Becker was nominated by Paula Hartbank, education and transfer coach.

“Lars is a TRIO student who works hard each and every day. He pretty much lives in the Student Success Center when he is not in class,” Hartbank said. “Lars is a very quiet but positive and upbeat student who draws very little attention to himself. He is very focused on his education.”
