Student Travel Opportunities

CIM Students have the unique opportunity to travel to various industry conventions and meetings around the country each year.  Our National Steering Committee and Patron's Board Foundation provide the funds for us to take students on these important learning and networking trips...why you might ask?  They want to meet you so they can hire you. That's how in-demand graduates with a CIM degree are.

Construction Site Tours

TXST CIM students had the opportunity to visit many different construction job sites, precast concrete plants, aggregate quarries, and ready-mix concrete plants as a part of their coursework in the program.

Whether as a part of a Concrete Industry Management class, or as part of a student organization such as the American Concrete Institute student chapter here at Texas State, students will have experiential learning opportunities with our industry partners around the State of Texas.
