THANK YOU TO THE STUDENTS AND COMPANIES WHO MADE THE 2008 STUDENT MIXER A SUCCESS!
On November 3, 2008 students from many universities convened at DBIA’s Annual Conference Student Mixer Event in Las Vegas to meet with recruiters and company representatives to network, get tips on how to land a design-build job, and to discuss design-build best practices. Over 50 students traveled to Las Vegas for the event and were able to make connections with some of the top Design-Build companies in the industry.
Iowa State University's Faculty Advisor, Jennifer Shane, welcomes the students.
