EnglishWhat Kind of News and Events Are Featured on the UW Construction Management Site?
Updated
The cm.be.uw.edu site features a news feed built around four recurring themes: career events, student and faculty awards, research projects, and collaborations with industry and public agencies. The current homepage highlights a Career Expo, several award announcements, and a WSDOT-funded eMobility project, which together show the range of content you can expect.
Career Events and Expos
The most prominent event listing is the Construction Management Career Expo on October 29, with a direct invitation to attend. This is the type of item that connects students to employers and typically appears ahead of the academic year's recruiting cycle.
The site also points visitors to broader event and advising resources:
- All Events — a consolidated events listing
- Meet with an Advisor — with separate paths for Undergraduate Advising and Graduate Advising
If you are a prospective or current student, the advising links are the practical entry point; the Expo listing is the time-sensitive one to watch.
Student and Faculty Awards
Awards and scholarships are a steady category of news, spanning undergraduates, PhD students, and faculty.
| Item | Who | Recognition |
|---|---|---|
| Best Research Poster | BE PhD student Ori Borjigin | 2026 CII Annual Research Conference, Denver (July 22, 2026), for I-90 Digital Twin research |
| Renewable Energy Scholarship | Abdul-Razak Alidu, second-year Built Environments PhD student | Renewable Energy Scholarship Foundation (RESF), for equitable EV charging infrastructure planning |
| Husky 100 | CM senior Sarah Young | 2026 Husky 100, cited for leadership, hands-on learning, and industry experience |
| CMAA PNW Scholarships | Three UW CM students (undergraduate and graduate) | $27,500 total, awarded June 26 by the CMAA Pacific Northwest Chapter; rising senior Luis Garcia-Luna specially recognized |
These posts tend to name the specific award, the awarding body, and the date, which makes them useful for students gauging what kinds of work get recognized in the program.
Research Projects
Research coverage focuses on applied, sponsored work rather than abstract topics. Two examples from the homepage:
- I-90 Digital Twin — a collaboration between the Mobility Innovation Center and Construction Management faculty, presented at the CII conference.
- Equitable EV charging infrastructure planning — Alidu's research on transportation electrification and clean energy infrastructure planning.
The through-line is transportation and infrastructure technology, often tied to a named sponsor or center.
Industry and Agency Collaborations
The site also reports on projects involving external partners, which is useful if you want to see who the department works with.
The WSDOT Shore Power: Bremerton Transportation Center eMobility Project kick-off, led by Profs. H.W. Chris Lee and Lingzi Wu, drew participation from:
- Washington State Ferries
- Kitsap Transit
- City of Bremerton
- Kitsap County
- Puget Sound Energy
- Port of Bremerton
- U.S. Navy
The meeting covered mobility challenges and electrification, illustrating the public-agency and utility partnerships that show up in departmental news.
How to Use the News Feed
- Prospective students: scan award and research posts to see the program's focus areas, then use the undergraduate or graduate advising links.
- Current students: check the events listing for the Career Expo and other dates, and watch for scholarship announcements like the CMAA PNW awards.
- Partners or researchers: the project posts name the sponsoring agencies and collaborating centers, which helps identify points of contact for similar work.
The homepage functions as a rolling bulletin rather than a static brochure, so the specific items change; the categories above are the reliable structure to expect when you visit.
