Today, Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas surprised Tran at his high school, presenting him with a $5,000 check and complimentary Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo tickets for him, his family and a teacher who inspired his educational journey. As someone passionate about urban and transportation centers, Tran hopes to learn ways to build environmentally friendly infrastructure to serve society better.
