From aggregates to audit, Vulcan Materials gave our students a look into the risks and operations behind an industry that helps build the world around us.

It’s not just who you know, it’s how you build the connection!

Learning extends far beyond the classroom.

We’re proud to see them representing LSUCIA&CRM and excited to see all they will accomplish this summer!

These certifications require significant dedication, discipline, and perseverance. We are proud of these students for taking the initiative to advance their professional development while balancing coursework, internships, leadership roles, and other commitments.

Congratulations again on this impressive achievement, and we look forward to seeing your continued success!

Congratulations to our LSUCIA&CRM students for wrapping up another successful week of Case Studies!

After a week full of presentations, collaboration, and long hours, students sharpened one of the most important professional skills there is: public speaking! Getting up in front of a room can be intimidating, but watching students grow more confident with every presentation is always one of the best parts of this long-standing tradition.

This week is more than just presentations. It is a chance to think critically, work as a team, and prepare for internships and future careers.

A special thank you to all of the practitioners, alumni, and supporters who continue to invest their time into this program. We appreciate everything that y’all do for us!
