CMAC HISTORY AND BYLAWS

The Cal Poly Construction Management Advisory Council (CMAC) is the successor of the Industry Advisory Committee which was formed in 2004 to provide essential and current professional input to the Construction Management Department faculty and administration. The CMAC was formed in 2014 to create a structure promoting increased involvement of CM Alumni, providing additional avenues of interaction with the department, and strengthening the connections with industry practitioners that have always been at the core of the Construction Management Department. The CMAC is recognized by the College of Architecture and Environmental Design Advisory Council and has opportunities to report to the Dean of the College on the interests of the Construction Management Department.

CMAC INDUSTRY QUOTES

"I continue to be involved with the CMAC so that I can contribute to helping keep the Cal Poly CM program great. Additionally, it is an excellent opportunity to stay connected with the program, students, and industry."

JEFF GRIMM

“I am engaged with CMAC to enable Cal Poly and the CM department, specifically, to provide the best education for CM students – one that is built on a foundation of learning and leadership to allow for success in the construction business. My current focus is to assist in leveraging the vast and diverse experiences of this group to ensure this foundation and student success is maximized. By doing so, our industry will be afforded the talent to continue evolving and thrive as environments and markets demand.”

MARCUS STANIFORD

“The Cal Poly Construction Management program helped shape me to be the builder I am today, so it only made sense to join CMAC so that I can give back to the department that gave me so much when I was a student.”

MARLO CASTRO

"I have felt a strong connection to our program, being a graduate from one of the early graduating classes and knowing all four Department heads has keep me engaged and committed to help the program achieve all the points above. I truly hope our future graduates will see the value in participating as well."
