As of May 2024, 1013 alumni have graduated from the Construction Management program with either a major, minor or certificate. In 2019, in an effort to more cohesively bring alumni together, program staff and the former CMGT Alumni Board agreed to move forward with future engagement and planning under the supervision and management of CCAPS staff. The Construction Management Alumni Network has continued to grow as we have hosted socials that drive interests in organizing events driven by alumni volunteerism throughout the year. The first Construction Management Alumni Social was held on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 at Punch Bowl Social. The event was cohosted by CMGT alums Aalayha Traub, Brandi Rutten, and Paige Dehmer, with CCAPS staff assistance by Aislinn Hernandez. A total of fifteen individuals attended the event.

The second event was an alumni/student networking opportunity held on March 13, 2024 at Surly. The event was cohosted by CMGT alums Aalayha Traub, Brandi Rutten, and Paige Dehmer, with CCAPS staff assistance by Aislinn Hernandez. The intention of the event was to offer a casual mingling and networking space for CMGT alumni and students. The event was open to all CMGT students and alumni, and we had 18 attendees.

CCAPS Mentor Program

During the academic year 2023–24, seven students and five alumni/friends of the CM program participated in the CCAPS Mentor Program. This marked the program’s fifth year, there were increased opportunities to engage our mentorship pairs in face-to-face meetings and activities. Of those CCAPS students that participated in the program and completed our end-of-year survey, 90% would recommend or highly recommend the CCAPS Mentor Program to their fellow students. Additionally, 100% of mentees agreed with the following statement: “I learned at least one valuable lesson about college, career, or life in general from my mentor.”

The CCAPS Mentor Program allows students to:

  • Explore current industry issues and potential career paths
  • Learn how to build a professional network
  • Enhance professional and communication skills
  • Connect knowledge learned in the classroom with future career goals
  • Explore new areas of interest
  • Gain insight on transitioning to the workplace
