Minority, women contractors benefit from course
By Christine Farmer
The first graduates of a course for emerging contractors, co-sponsored by the University and the Associated General Contractors of St. Louis (AGC), were recognized at a luncheon Thursday, April 29, in Brookings Hall.
"The Business of Construction" course was designed to help St. Louis area contractors compete in the construction industry and to help the University increase minority and women participation in campus construction projects.
"We hope to develop relationships with smaller contractors and that those relationships prosper and grow and become long-term relationships," said Executive Vice Chancellor Richard A. Roloff.
