Student Activities - Construction Management Club

Professional Development

The CM club, which is chartered by the Arkansas Associated General Contractors and the American Institute of Contractors, organizes and pays for several types of activities, including field trips, guest speakers, and the annual Top Hammer competition.

Membership dues are used for individual student membership in the American Institute of Constructors. The club officers usually attend the annual regional meeting of the Associated Schools of Construction where they interact with representatives of other CM student groups. They also staff the JBU CM booth at the annual AGC/AIA trade exposition in Little Rock, Arkansas. Serving as an officer is excellent leadership training. The goal is that all CM students be active in the club and that the following objectives are met: 

1. To develop a sense of enthusiasm for and appreciation of the ideals and standards of ethics of the Professional Constructor among the students and to provide a communication link between the students of Construction Management and the construction industry. 
2. To acquaint students with the present and future scope of construction practice so that they may be better prepared for
   their future work. 
3. To promote a feeling of unity within the CM department between students and faculty through professional, social, and service activities, and the JBU community as a whole. 
4. To provide an avenue through which CM students are able to contact Professional Constructors concerning future
   employment. 
5. To support on-campus, local, and International service activities consistent with the ideals of John Brown University and that match the resources and abilities found within the CM department.
