#TBT to our September/October recruiting events at San Jose State University (SJSU) and San Francisco State University (SFSU)! Our college recruiters had a great time connecting with so many future architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals while sharing their insights on #WhyWebcor. From the ways Webcor's supported their career advancement to our diverse resume of iconic California projects, our college recruiters had plenty to share with SJSU's and SFSU's civil and mechanical engineering majors!

Aaand another one from the American Society of Civil Engineers San Francisco Section Project Awards program!

Congratulations to the entire team, and another huge shout-out to our friends at Langan Engineering & Environmental Services for submitting Genesis Marina's nomination! ?? : Dave Burk

Talk about a perfect team-bonding event! Our San Francisco International Airport (SFO) International Terminal Building (ITB) Roof Upgrade team recreated SFO's iconic building during a team outing at Paint the Town. It was a perfect opportunity to flex their artistic muscles while giving themselves a keepsake of this impactful project—a comprehensive effort to restore and fortify the facility's fa?ade against the elements and improve energy consumption.

Outstanding is right! Congratulations to the China Basin Park team on winning American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) San Francisco Section's Outstanding Parks and Recreation Project award, part of the chapter's annual project awards program.

From engaging in our ERGs' thought-provoking panel discussion on Belonging Day to networking with diverse businesses at local Supplier Diversity Day Mixers, Webcorians joined thousands of AEC professionals in amplifying the significance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our industry for Construction Inclusion Week! It was a rewarding week of exchanging perspectives, learning from one another's experiences, and renewing each of our commitments to championing DEI in the construction industry. As we close the chapter on #CIW2024, let's all remember that embracing DEI isn't an annual trend--it's an everyday, actionable commitment. #WhyWebcor #DEI #Community #SupplierDiversity
