Bob Grubic accepts a Professional Achievement Award from Dr. Michele Marcolongo, the Dean of the College of Engineering at Villanova.

Bob was chosen for this honor by the University’s Engineering Alumni Society, and his name will be featured with past and future honorees on a wall of plaques outside the civil engineering classrooms.

He graduated from Villanova in 1973 and immediately joined a small Harrisburg-based engineering firm by the name of Herbert Associates. Today, that firm bears his name and has grown to employ more than 300 engineers, planners, landscape architects, surveyors, environmental scientists, and financial specialists in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. His work as an engineer has helped to shape the infrastructure of Harrisburg and the surrounding area for almost 50 years, and we are all so happy to see him get this recognition from an institution that helped to shape the engineer and business leader he has become. Congratulations, Bob!
