Fluor Funding Promotes Student Success in the College of Architecture & Environmental Design

Jun 4, 2015

 

San Luis Obispo- More students in the architectural engineering and construction management departments will benefit from professional development and leadership opportunities thanks to a $9,000 grant from the Fluor Corporation.

The Fluor grant will be used to fund two architectural engineering scholarships and provide course materials for the concrete course. In addition, it will support the International Construction Management Education Initiative. This initiative allows Cal Poly to further develop relationships and to build on existing partnerships with international universities by recruiting Cal Poly students to study abroad and increase recruitment of international students to study at Cal Poly.

Fluor’s Doug Makowecki visited the College of Architecture & Environmental Design (CAED) to personally deliver the funding to the CAED Dean, Christine Theodoropoulos and Assistant Dean for External Relations, Natalie Schaefer.

“Fluor support plays a key role in helping to meet our student’s needs,” says Schaefer. “Students report outstanding benefits to their professional growth and development from the type of hands-on participation made available through supporting grants.”
