Our speaker for May will be Shirley Hall who is the Marketer & Recruiter
Specialist for the Concrete Industry Management program at Chico State
University.
Shirley attended high school at Pleasant Valley & did her undergraduate
study at UC Davis where she also played on the collegiate tennis team. She
then spent a year in England at Durham University getting a Masters of
Science in marketing and competed on the tennis team there. She has worked
for CIM for almost 3 years, and is very passionate about this major.
CIM is a Bachelor of Science degree that combines hands-on experience with
a business administration minor to give students a comprehensive
understanding of the concrete industry. This includes materials, production,
construction methods, and business management. There are only 5 universities
in the nation that have a CIM degree, and Chico State is one of them. The
average starting salary for our students is around $80,000 and the job
placement rate is at 100%.
