Special Thanks to Our Program Partners

With $1 million in gifts from The Beavers Charitable Trust and Allan Myers, Inc, as well as commitments from twelve additional leading construction companies as of February 2021, $2.2 million has been raised toward the $3 million goal to establish The Beavers Charitable Trust and Allan Myers Endowed Professorship in Civil Construction Engineering and Management.

The Beavers Charitable Trust

Founded in 1977, The Beavers Charitable Trust (BCT) is a permanent endowment from the heavy construction industry with the exclusive purpose of assisting students who are entering the field through grants and scholarships. The BCT has given endowments to fund student scholarships at 59 universities, including Penn State's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The BCT also has created ten endowed professorships across the country, including the recent major gift in support of this fundraising drive.

 

Allan Myers, Inc.

Their dedicated workforce of more than 2,000 serves both private and public clients, building projects ranging from less than $1 million to more than $2 billion.
