Hi, I’m Dana Bubonovich, and my EcoCAR journey began at Penn State during EcoCAR: The NeXt Challenge. Since then, I’ve built a career in the battery and mobility sectors, and I’ve seen firsthand how Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions (AVTC) experience shapes careers and opens doors.
Did you know that more than 35,000 AVTC alumni have launched careers across the industry since the program began in 1988? That means we’re part of a powerful, global network spanning nearly every sector of mobility, energy, and technology. This group is here to help you reconnect with teammates, expand your network, and support fellow alumni as we continue to grow in our careers.
Virtual coffee chats – Reconnect, share ideas, and expand your network.
Career mentorship – Learn from alumni in different disciplines and grow professionally.
In-person meetups – Connect at conferences, industry events, or casual gatherings.
Let’s keep the EcoCAR and AVTC community strong—looking forward to reconnecting and growing together!
