American Concrete Institute (ACI ) at SRU
We’re excited to announce the official launch of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Student Club at Slippery Rock University in Fall 2024!
To kick things off, the first concrete workshop, where students got creative and crafted unique items like flowerpots, was held as a joint event with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and ACI.
Collaboration among engineering student clubs is key to the success of our engineering students, fostering teamwork and innovation. Stay tuned for more exciting events!
