Student Organizations and Competitions

Why should I join the CSM Student Organizations?

Membership comes with a wide range of opportunities from networking with industry leaders, meeting new students in the program at social events and access to internships and job opportunities. The folks at ABC, AGC, ACI, and NAHB are excited to be our partners and are committed to enriching the educational experience and career outlook of student members through sponsored events, scholarships, job fairs and more.

Need more reasons to join up? How about:

  • Guest speakers at meetings
  • Involvement looks great on resumes
  • Free food
  • Job site visits
  • Mentorship
  • Access to many internship and career opportunities that are not posted or available at job fairs (many people get their jobs through networking and not a formal job search)
  • Fun events like membership mixers, tailgating, the annual chili cook-off and more
  • Volunteer opportunities doing good work for the community and our industry

United States Green Building Council

United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Students encourages students from any discipline to come together to learn about and promote green building practices. We are transforming the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. We aim to be in the words of Steven Moore, “transdisciplinary” and — as such — membership is open to any student. We welcome you. We can improve designs, implementations, building practices, technologies, and professional practices.
