The ABC National Student Chapter Network (NSCN) connects local ABC chapters to colleges and universities with construction related degree programs with the ultimate goal of building the construction management pipeline and mentoring future leaders of the construction industry.
At the local level, ABC chapters facilitate the interaction of ABC member firms with student chapters through a variety of industry association and school events, including regular membership meetings, guest speakers, internships, community service projects, fundraisers, career fairs/career awareness events, job site tours, and other activities.
As a member of an ABC student chapter, students are given the opportunity to become more knowledgeable about the construction industry while learning the importance of the merit shop philosophy and free-enterprise through active association involvement. Involvement in the student chapter provides interaction with ABC National and chapter staff, member contractors, faculty and staff, and students with similar interests and career goals.
ABC Student Chapter of the Year Award
The ABC Student Chapter of the Year Award, powered by DEWALT, recognizes an outstanding ABC National student chapter for its accomplishments in programming, community service, communications/public relations and interaction with its sponsoring ABC chapter during the academic year.
ABC student chapters are evaluated on their accomplishments throughout the academic year in four key areas:
- Programming and student engagement
- Community service
- Communications and public relations
- Collaboration with their sponsoring ABC chapter
If your student chapter is building connections with the construction industry, creating opportunities for students and making an impact on campus or in your community, this is your opportunity to earn national recognition.
