Rutgers University joined the NASTT Student Chapter family in 2016 and has been a valuable addition to our organization. The student members are very active and regularly host guest speakers and go on field trips to area job sites.

Recently, NASTT Board Member, Dennis Walsh, P.E. of Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G), gave a presentation on trenchless technology to the members of the Rutgers Student Chapter. Dennis is a Senior Project Manager, Horizontal Directional Drilling for PSE&G in New Jersey. He has designed numerous HDD projects and is a licensed P.E. in five states.

Later, Sergey Wortman-Vayn, P.E., Principal Staff Engineer, Electric & Gas Asset Strategy at PSE&G, took the chapter on a field trip to an HDD site with New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) in Bayville, New Jersey.

It is great to see the future of our industry so engaged in learning and networking!
