ACI President Michael J. Paul with student leaders from Universidad Católica de Santa María in Lima, Peru This spring, 79 universities will receive recognition as an ACI Outstanding Student Chapter for activities conducted during the 2024 calendar year. The student chapter winners will be announced during the ACI Student Awards Program held on Monday morning during the upcoming ACI Concrete Convention, March 30 – April 2, 2025, in Toronto, ON, Canada. The ACI Student Chapter Award Program recognizes the achievement of outstanding student chapters whose activities align with ACI’s strategic goal to increase participation and add value for its members. The student chapters will accomplish this by increasing opportunities for professional and academic growth, as well as strengthening relationships between the student chapter and ACI and its Local Chapters. In addition to reaching outstanding student chapter status, Universidad Católica de Santa María, located in Arequipa, Peru, was named as the 2024 Distinguished Student Chapter of the Year for attaining the highest level of points. UCSM’s co-faculty advisors, Eng. Rubén Francisco Gamarra Tuco and Eng. José Germán Loayza Rodríguez, were also recognized with the 2024 Distinguished Faculty Advisor of the Year award. While participating in ACI Student Competitions and/or organizing local competitions are a major part of student activities, student chapters also engage in construction site tours, hosting research sessions and technical presentations, community outreach and education events, and other professional development and networking opportunities. Student chapters typically include undergraduate and/or graduate students pursuing degrees in civil engineering, construction management, concrete industry management, and architecture. ACI currently has 355 student chapters worldwide including 77 domestic and 278 international. Most student chapters are sponsored by a local professional chapter. The minimum requirement to form a student chapter at a university is 15 ACI student members. Students and educators interested in learning more about student chapter activities are encouraged to attend the ACI Student Forum on Sunday, March 30 at 4:00 PM during the convention. View the full list of universities that qualified for the ACI Outstanding Student Chapter Award.
