MTSU'S Kellie Christian Receives Weatherton Award

To highlight CIM’s success in developing young industry professionals, in 2015, World of Concrete established the Weatherton Award, established to honor Bob Weatherton and his many contributions to the concrete industry. Each year during World of Concrete, students from the CIM program are invited to present information on their industry-based internships, applied research participation and conclusions from capstone class work. Again this year, the presentations were judged by a panel of industry professionals.

The award, along with a $2,500 scholarship, was presented to Middle Tennessee State University student Kellie Christian on Jan. 24 at CIM’s National Steering Committee meeting. Congratulations Kellie!
