CEA Awards Grants to Deserving Universities

December 16, 2002

Each year the Construction Employers’ Association (CEA) awards grants to deserving universities as part of its Construction Management University Grant Program.

For the 2002 program year, the CEA Construction Management University Grant Program Committee evaluated grant applications from five universities based on such factors as impact to the building construction industry and quality of the grant proposal. Each of the following universities that applied for grants received funding from CEA: University of California, Berkeley; California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo; California State University, Chico; California State University, Sacramento and Stanford University.

CEA presented California State University, Sacramento with the 2002 Donald L. Warmby Leadership Award in recognition of its first place grant award. California State University, Sacramento received the grant to develop CD’s, construction props, samples of construction materials and to catalogue the contents of their construction library. In addition, they received funding for student academic achievement scholarship awards.

Donald Warmby, who passed away last year, was instrumental in initiating CEA’s Construction Management University Program to support and promote quality construction management education and to develop long-term relationships with the participating universities.

Additional grant awards were given to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to fund the CEA Faculty Professional Development Endowment Fund; California State University, Chico to fund the development of “Smart Lab/Classrooms”; Stanford University to fund consulting professors and field trips and the University of California, Berkeley to fund the development of video-based case studies of construction operations in Northern California.
