Leo A.
Vecellio, Jr.
Vecellio Group, Inc. President, Chairman
and CEO |
Building and maintaining transportation
infrastructure takes a total team effort. So does keeping
everyone safe in and around our job sites.
We applaud the efforts of our operating units for keeping their
focus on safety and reaching impressive safety milestones.
We can’t do it alone, however. We also call on the traveling
public to take seriously the obligation we all share to drive
cautiously around road construction work.
Employee safety training and maintenance of traffic programs are
designed to protect workers and the traveling public. And they
will — if motorists will drive with caution and awareness as
they pass road improvement projects.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of
needless work zone tragedies as America builds and maintains its
critical transportation infrastructure.
Drivers everywhere, you’re part of the team, too.
We need you to be cautious and alert
as you proceed through road construction zones!

Paul Torgersen |
Professor Paul E. Torgersen, an Industrial
Engineer whose career at Virginia Tech spans 43 years, including
20 years as a Dean and seven as University President, is the
presenter of this year’s Vecellio Lecture, held at the
university in October.
Torgersen is a Fellow of both the Institute of Industrial
Engineers and the American Society of Engineering Education. An
internationally published author, he has also signed 62,191
diplomas during his terms as Dean and President.
The annual lecture series is sponsored by an endowment from the
Vecellio Family Foundation and individual family members, in
support of the Vecellio Construction Engineering and Management
Program at the school. Several family members are Virginia Tech
alumni, including the late Leo Vecellio, Sr. (class of 1938),
Leo Vecellio, Jr. (1968) and Michael Vecellio (2001).
The Vecellio endowment also supports scholarships, fellowships
and a full professorship at the school.
