Student Chapters

AGC student chapters exist to encourage and support student interest in the professional construction industry. Exposure to the working industry is vital to the preparation of future industry practitioners. AGC of America in conjunction with AGC's local chapters supports over 150 student chapters nationwide.

AGC Student Chapter History

AGC student chapters have a long and rich history dating back more than 75 years.

AGC's records indicate that the first nationally chartered AGC student chapter was located at North Carolina State College (University) receiving its charter on April 28, 1930. Later that year the students traveled to Washington, D.C. and visited with President Herbert Hoover on the White House lawn. AGC's second student chapter was approved by its Executive Board in May 1931 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
