MCC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
MCC is committed to encouraging people to pursue careers in concrete-related fields and to provide opportunities for those people to enhance their level of professionalism and industry engagement via scholarships. MCC’s Scholarship Committee and the Board of Directors are implemented changes to the scholarship program in 2017 that significantly increased the amount of scholarship funding MCC sponsors each year. MCC has its own scholarships for engineering students, construction management students, vo-tech and community college students, and scholarships for high school students. MCC continues to support the concrete finisher and laborer apprenticeship programs as well.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE MEMBER-FUNDED
The MCC scholarship program is funded mainly from the profits earned at the annual golf outing and the Big Shoot sporting clays event. Donations from members and other are also welcome. Please contact MCC’s Administrator, Margaret Mills for additional information.

WEBINAR: MN Concrete Forum - Construction Special Inspections
Learn more141 WEBINAR: MN Concrete Forum - Construction Special Inspections 2020-10-21 10:00:00 2020-10-21 11:00:00 #f57921Anyone who has watched a building under construction can appreciate its complexity and sophistication. Occasionally, inspection and testing requirements occur that the local code official may not be qualified or experienced to address, so third-party assistance is needed. The building codes address this need through a specific requirement for structural tests and “special” inspections. A special inspection can be required for materials, installation, fabrication, erection or placement of components and connections where special expertise is needed. This presentation will cover the requirement of special inspections as well as some examples of when construction testing and inspections did not go as planned.
The presenters will be:

WEBINAR - Ethics - Not Black and White but Shades of Grey
Learn more142 WEBINAR - Ethics - Not Black and White but Shades of Grey 2020-11-12 08:00:00 2020-11-12 09:00:00 #f57921Making a decision that requires ethical consideration is usually not easy. Rarely are we faced with an ethical question that has a corresponding answer that is clearly black and white. Doing the ethical thing can require effort and determining the correct path may include many variables that cause us to pause and consider what the right decision is. In this presentation, the speaker will discuss some scenarios that illustrate the grey area that can be "ethics." The presenter will work through the scenarios an offer insight on determining the correct and ethical way to proceed through a decision-making process.
The presenter will be William Rushing, P.E., F.ACI (Vice President, Waldemar S. Nelson & Co., New Orleans, LA)
