National Association of Home Builders Builds Scholarship Fund

—Oct. 17, 2000

NAHB Scholarship The building development program has a long history in the business college. Effective with the 2000-01 catalog, the program name was changed to Construction Management to better reflect their direction. This program started out as a concentration under the management degree designation and then moved to a stand alone B.B.A. in Building Development. It has always had close ties with the University's architecture program. In 1997 Ron Rutherford was hired as the E.J. Burke, Jr. Chair in Building Development and assumed the coordination responsibilities for the program.

One thing that has remained constant is support the program receives from the National Association of Home Builders. They participated in the original endowment gift lead by Betty Burke, in memory of her husband, Elmo James Burke, Jr., and attorney and prominent homebuilder in San Antonio.

Recently the local chapter of the National Association of Home Builders presented the College with checks totaling $2,240 for their annual scholarship. This includes a match from their national association.

Presenting checks to the Dean and Ron Rutherford were:

David Anderson, President of Greater San Antonio Education Foundation
Bob Earl, President, Greater San Antonio Home Builders Association, and President, Casa Linda
Cheryl Garcia, Chair of the new Advisory Council for the Construction Management Program of the Greater San Antonio Education Foundation (Cheryl is Chief Operating Officer, All Season Moving & Storage, Inc., and a graduate of the inaugural EMBA Class)
