From September 11th to September 13th, several of our STBE students participated in the Race to Build Event - a partnership between the Appalachia Service Project and Bristol Motor Speedway during the Bass Pro Shops NASCAR Night Race. During this annual event, construction management students from a number of universities come together and compete to build homes as fast as they can for families in the Tri-Cities, Tennessee region.
This event serves to draw attention to the critical housing needs in the Bristol, TN area, and our students competed against students from Iowa State University, Kent State University, and the University of Nebraska. Our students had tons of fun, got lots of meaningful hands-on application for what they learn in the classroom, and did a great job with their build. We are so proud of them and can't wait to see what they do next!
