Student Spotlight

I chose my major because I have been a part of the Union for 6 years. The best thing about the construction management program has been applying data and tools from my courses to what I am doing in the field. Receiving my recent promotion to an Instructor within my Union has been a goal of mine for many years. To have that come to life has been a dream.
