Louisiana Contractors Support LSU Construction Management Program
September 1, 2009
Through funds collected from hundreds of Louisiana contractors, Vic Weston, vice chairman of the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors and Mike Barber, president of the Construction Industry Advisory Council presented a check for more than $45,000 ($45,475.88) to the LSU College of Engineering Construction Management program.
Dr. Tom Ray, department chair of Construction Management and Industrial Engineering expressed gratitude for this gift, stating "The department and college are very appreciative of the unprecedented support the construction industry provides through generous donations, in kind support and dedication of their time and expertise to enrich the experiences of construction management students."
When a Louisiana contractor renews their state license, each may choose to make a donation to LSU's construction management program. The generous donation will be used to provide updated computers, equipment and materials to enhance construction education at LSU.
