Two teams of Penn College students and their faculty supporters are in Las Vegas this week for the National Association of Home Builders' Student Chapters Residential Construction Management Competition, sponsored by Centex and held in conjunction with the association's International Builders Show at Caesars Palace. The two- and four-year teams got an 11th-hour boost from the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association, which contributed $2,500 and helped evaluate the student presentations in the Klump Academic Center Auditorium on Thursday night. NAHB contributed an additional $1,750 to the students, whose management proposals involving construction proposals in San Antonio, Texas, will be evaluated by industry judges Monday. Members of the two-year team are Benjamin H. Clark, Zachary T. McAllister, Michael J. Reier, Erich L. Snyder and Brian D. West. The four-year team comprises Steven R. Brannan, Seth L. Culbert, Jeffrey N. DeAngelo, Andrew A. DeGregorio (who will be honored with an NAHB "Outstanding Student Award"), Bryan T. Hay and Ryan Shannon. They will be accompanied by Barney A. Kahn and Garret L. Graff, instructors of building construction technology and co-advisers to the Penn College Construction Association (the NAHB student chapter).
