- Advocate for the UT construction science and management program within organizations, academic settings, and with colleagues
- Identify sources of future high-quality construction science and management students
- Provide curriculum advice to maintain industry-specific course content and programmatic direction, which prepare students for careers in construction, and continue ACCE accreditation
- Maintain awareness of various trends in the construction science and management program (enrollment, student demographics, class sizes, placement, budget, etc.) and review and recommend modifications when necessary
- Identify potential sources of financial support for both our immediate needs and growth of the construction science and management program
