High School Summer Institute Women in Construction Management
As the core experience of our Women in CM Summer Institute truly lies in the team-building and hands-on activities which are not replicable online, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Summer 2020 institute. If you have any questions, or if you are interested in learning more about Construction Management at CSU, please reach out to Anna Fontana at: Anna.Fontana@colostate.edu
They teach you more than just construction. It’s also about being confident and learning to love yourself.
Construction Managers take the designer’s vision and make it a reality.
With one of the highest job placement rates and starting salaries of any major, a degree in Construction Management is a great choice for those who enjoy teamwork, solving tangible problems, critical thinking, and creating the world around them.
In this institute, participants will develop confidence in their abilities and gain an understanding of their opportunities in construction management and related fields through field trips, classroom sessions, and hands-on activities.
