Maria Hagen Is New T2 Coordinator
Maria Hagen began work in January as the new coordinator of the Minnesota T2 Center. Selected by a search committee representing the University, Mn/DOT, and local government, Hagen joins T2 from the city of Robbinsdale.
As city engineer, Hagen coordinated the planning, review, design, construction, inspection, and contract management of all public infrastructure improvements. She also represented the city in various capacities with other agencies such as county and state highway departments, local watershed management organizations, and other cities.
"My work as city engineer since 1996, and as assistant city engineer from 1994-96, allowed me to experience the educational and research needs of a small community," Hagen says. "I believe that this background will help me serve the clients of the T2 Center."
Hagen holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Minnesota and is a registered professional engineer in Minnesota. Her previous experience includes positions as a graduate engineer with Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson, Inc., and as a student trainee with Mn/DOT's Mn/ROAD project.
She is active in a number of professional organizations, including the City Engineers Association of Minnesota and the CTS Education Council. She also is the current vice president of the Twin Lakes Chapter of the Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers and job bank director for the Women's Transportation Seminar. Welcome Maria!
