“PNC was been a good experience for me as a female in a predominantly male field. The Building Construction Management Department has a good group of professors who offer unique insight into the industry. Martha Garcia-Saenz (associate professor of Building Construction Management) has always been a positive influence and is a tremendous role model for women in the field. She goes out of her way to help her students. She truly wants them to succeed. We are lucky to have an instructor of her caliber.”

“For me, PNC it is a convenient campus to commute to and the ‘non-traditional’ class schedule suited my schedule.

“I’ve been able to juggle work, family and school. PNC made it possible for me to attend class by offering the Lil’ Boilermakers Preschool for my children. Plus, PNC offered options for the non-traditional student - evening and off-campus courses, which was very important to me. This let me make the most of my time.

I plan to use my degree to work in general commercial construction services and work toward an upper management safety related position. “
