Dylan Wilt
Son of Samantha Thomas
Customer Service - Montgomery, PA

Dylan plans to pursue an Earth Sciences degree from the Pennsylvania State University. He started his college career in Civil Engineering, but after delving into the coursework for a few years, he determined it was not the field for him. He decided to follow his mother’s comment from the past, “If you find a job you love, you will never work a day in your life”, and he changed his major and focused his goals on Earth Sciences. He immediately loved the field of study it offered, incorporating mathematics along with geological processes, and he has also taken on a minor in Earth and Sustainability. This creates a life-long career interest for him, as he now has the broader concept of how Earth Science can impact the world. In high school Dylan participated in football, basketball and FBLA. In college, Dylan has been working full time, as well as attending classes as a full-time student, and has also participated in activities related to Earth Science in projects and volunteer work.

Aiden Wolowik
Son of Heather Wolowik
Director of Customer Care, SunSetter – Middleton, WI

Aidan plans to attend Madison College, where he will be looking to pursue a career in Automotive Repair. His current apprenticeship focuses not only on helping consumers but have also implemented many clean practices to decrease human’s impact on the environment, which Aiden is passionate about. In high school, Aiden participated in student council, marching/symphonic band, jazz band, stage manager with the annual musical, and in an automotive apprenticeship for two years. Aiden has also been a caregiver for five years for a student with autism. He walked this student to school every day, cared for him over summer months, and took him along on outings. Once Aiden begins his goal as a technician or business owner, his intention is to be as helpful and respectful as possible, and to decrease the fear and mistrust that he knows exists in the automotive industry. His apprenticeship has instilled in him the premise that automotive work can most certainly be balanced with decreasing environmental impacts, and that is something he finds of great value and plans to move forward utilizing that mindset.

Congratulations to all! We wish everyone the best of luck.
