Alejandro graduated with a Master’s of Science in Civil Engineering from the Grainger College of Engineering! He was a member of the trumpet section for his 5 years in the Marching Illini. This fall, Alejandro is very excited to be joining Clark Construction as an Engineer working in his hometown of Chicago, IL! The Marching Illini has provided a great community for Alejandro to continue making music, experience unforgettable performances, and develop lifelong friendships. His favorite moment from his time in the band was playing in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida! Alejandro’s advice for others is to always step out of your comfort zone to experience new interests and meet new people! Congratulations, Alejandro! We are so very proud of you! #altogetherextraordinary | #ILLINOIS2025🎓
