by GroundBreak Carolinas on May 2, 2022

The Kimmel School of Construction Management (KSCM) at Western Carolina University celebrated the spring semester and its students with a night of fun, laughter and friendship on Thursday night, April 7, 2022, at UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Harrah’s Cherokee Resort in Cherokee, N.C. The festivities included bowling, great food, and even a visit from WCU’s mascot, Paws the Catamount.

The School hosted the first Annual Student Achievement Awards to recognize graduating students, outstanding academic achievement, and a successful spring semester.  Over 125 students, faculty, staff, and industry sponsors attended the event.

The event was sponsored by A M King, America’s Homeplace, Lithko Contracting, and Morgan Corp.

Students graduating in May were presented with WCU Construction Management hard hats. Awards for outstanding academic achievement were presented to students at all levels in the CM program.
