NJIT Concrete Industry Management

On August 16th, 2022 the New Jersey American Concrete Institute Chapter hosted its Annual Golf Outing at Hawk Pointe Golf Club in Washington, New Jersey. With a beautiful day on the course, the attendees enjoyed a great time golfing. Our very own CIM Student, Maria Wagner was a great help in the event in coordinating different activities as well as being involved in the day's events. Many scholarships were given to different students from different New Jersey Universities. We would like to thank Emily Reich, the executive director of NJACI, for allowing us to participate in this wonderful event.

On Thursday May 12th, 7 students were invited to attend the New Jersey ACI Dinner. With them was also one NJIT CIM program graduate. They enjoyed a nice dinner accompanied by a presentation of awards for outstanding concrete related projects completed all over New Jersey. Congratulations to all awardees and a special thank you to the sponsors of this event for inviting our students to this dinner! We look forward to it again next year.

On Thursday, May 5th, The Concrete Industry Management Program hosted the Patrons Meeting for Spring 2022. It was a great success, reaching a high attendance by students as well as company executives looking to recruit students. We had a number of speeches from Frank Flatch(The Chairman of The Northeast Patrons), Dr. Mahgoub(CIM Director) and Dr. Thomas Juliano(Chair of the Department of Engineering Technology(ET) / School of Applied Engineering and Technology(SAET)). Many students presented a powerpoint of the breakdown of a day in the life working in the industry as well as the ACI and ICRI student organization updates. Other students presented about concrete projects they worked on this semester and there were also two graduate student presentations talking about their experience. We had a total of 18 different companies interviewing our students providing them with opportunities to succeed in this industry.
We would like to thank Frank Flatch for putting this event together, along with Dr. Mohamed Mahgoub, the faculty, and the technical staff! We also would like to thank Dr. Bloom and his wife for attending this last Patron's meeting as NJIT president. CIM honored him in the meeting thanking him for his great support to CIM during his term as a president . We would also like to thank all those who attended and for all our Patrons for their constant support to the program and its students! We hope to see you for the Fall Patrons Meeting in December!

Congratulations to all awardees!

On Wednesday, October 14, 2021, one of our best CIM Graduates was selected by the Metro ICRI scholarship Committee to receive one of the 2021 Chapter Scholarships in the amount of $2,500! We would like to Congratulate Mohamed Hassan for being one of the students that has received the 2021 ACI Scholarship for academic excellence.
