By serving as vice president for the American Society of Civil Engineers Student Chapter at ISU, Hogarth helped her department, the College of Science and Engineering, the University and the Pocatello community by working on a number of events, said Mustafa Mashal, ISU assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, who nominated Hogarth.
