Dear Alumni and Friends,
I hope you are doing well!
As the Spring 2021 semester comes to an end, I cannot be more proud of how our Department of Construction Management persevered during this most unusual academic year. Our faculty, staff, and students demonstrated the agility in adapting plans to meet unexpected and unforeseen conditions. In many ways, it was like working in construction.
With the end of the 2020-2021 academic year, we celebrate our student, staff, and faculty accomplishments. The following are a collection of stories shared throughout spring semester to highlight the department’s accomplishments.
I hope you take a moment to read these stories and visit our website to view even more highlights of how the Department of Construction Management’s faculty, staff, students, and alumni are making a difference in the construction industry and with it, the lives of others in our community.
All the best,
Paul M. Goodrum
Professor and Department Head
