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.
