On Thursday, November 8, 2018, two teams from Drexel University’s Construction Management Program will be departing for Albany, NY to participate in the 29th Annual ASC Region 1 Student Competition and Job Fair. Student teams will be competing in both the heavy civil and the commercial competitions sponsored by The Walsh Group and Dimeo Construction, respectively. Each team will have one day to prepare a solution to a construction related problem statement, which is followed by a presentation of their solution the following day. The program wishes the best for both teams as they compete!
