KENNESAW, Ga. | Apr 23, 2019

On April 17th, the Associated General Contractors (AGC) KSU student chapter celebrated their last meeting of the Spring 2019 semester by inviting Kevin Kuntz (President of Southeast Division McCarthy Building & Outgoing President at AGC of Georgia) and Mark Woodall (Governmental Affairs at AGC of Georgia) to discuss the benefits of being an AGC member. Not only does the AGC provide an endless amount of networking and education opportunities, but the organization also campaigns for the needs, interests and concerns within the construction industry.

During the Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 school year, the AGC student chapter hosted 12 events. These events included presentations from leading construction industry professionals, an office visit to JE Dunn Construction and Holder Construction, two volunteer events at the Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, a Kennestone Hospital site visit and a cookout sponsored by New South Construction. The student chapter even hosted an AGC hat design contest and gave away an AGC of Georgia Young Leadership Program (YLP) membership to a KSU student. There is no doubt the AGC student chapter has been active this school year!

The AGC KSU student chapter is also excited to announce that all three AGC scholarships given in the state of Georgia were awarded to students at Kennesaw State University. These students are Joe Congemi (Undergraduate Construction Management Major – Senior), Addie Thornton (Undergraduate Civil Engineering Major – Senior), and Misikir Mengistu (Graduate Construction Management Major- Senior). These students plan to graduate in 2020.

The AGC student chapter had a fantastic year and looks forward to another great year starting this fall.
