KENNESAW, Ga. | Nov 9, 2017

Carl Frinzi, who was nominated by Dr. Khalid Siddiqi, Chair of the The KSU Department of Construction Management, was recently honored with the 2017 KSU "Distinguished Alumni" award.

Frinzi possesses a B.S. in Civil Engineering Technology from the former Southern Polytechnic State University’s College of Technology and currently holds the role of Vice President of Batson-Cook, a highly recognized leader in the general contracting industry.

Frinzi's multitude of contributions over the past ten years to both the CM Department, and University as a whole, have significantly impacted students in so many ways. Some of these contributions include: arranging field trips to his projects for students, providing guest lectures, providing many internship opportunities, offering permanent job placements to graduates and creating an endowed scholarship. Last year, Frinzi was awarded "Recruiter of the Year" by the Construction Management Department, as Batson-Cook recruited the highest number of CM interns and graduates.

In addition to his direct impact on the CM Department, Frinzi also played a key role in the consolidation of SPSU with KSU, and has served on both Foundation boards. He currently serves as a trustee of the Kennesaw State University Foundation.

The Department couldn't be more thankful to Frinzi for his continuous generosity in the form of knowledge, leadership, time, financial contributions, and most of all, dedication to our students and growth of our programs. We are beyond honored to call him an invaluable member of the CM Industry Advisory Board.
