The Corporate Partner Program offers an opportunity for construction businesses to improve their company performance and to demonstrate their commitment to Clemson University’s Department of Construction Science and Management (CSM) and its students through direct financial support of the Center for the Improvement of Construction Management and Processes (CICMP).
The mission of the Corporate Partner Program is to support the initiatives of the CICMP and professionally-related activities of the students and faculty in the CSM Department. Professional, student, and faculty activities include field trips to project sites, participation in local, regional and national construction association competitions, faculty professional development and seed money for applied research and professional development projects for the benefit of the partners.
