Sundt was presented with the Raytheon Spirit of Education Award by Tucson Values Teachers at the nonprofit organization’s gala event in Tucson last night. The award is given annually to a company that shows outstanding support of education in Southern Arizona.
“We chose Sundt for this year’s Raytheon Spirit of Education Award because the company has been committed to building educational excellence in Arizona for more than 80 years,” said Katie Rogerson, marketing director for Tucson Values Teachers. “Sundt has built more than 60 projects for the University of Arizona plus countless community college and K-12 education construction projects. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Southern Arizona’s educational landscape has been transformed by Sundt.”
The event, held at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort (constructed by Sundt in 1984), was attended by Sundt President & CEO Dave Crawford and several other members of the executive team. Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, President of Raytheon Missile Systems, and Dr. Ann Weaver Heart, President of the University of Arizona, hosted the evening.
“Every business should care about the quality of our educational system,” said Sundt Project Director Kurt Wadlington. “Sundt is honored to have been associated with so many quality educational institutions and programs in our efforts to provide meaningful support of this important economic driver.”
