Cal Poly Honors Construction Management Department Heads With First Provost Award for Philanthropy

SAN LUIS OBISPO - Cal Poly Interim Provost Robert Detweiler and College of Architecture and Environmental Design Dean R. Thomas Jones presented Allan J. Hauck, Construction Management department head, and James A. Rodger, former Construction Management department head, with the first Provost's Leadership Award for Partnership in Philanthropy at an alumni and industry dinner on May 6.

The award recognizes a current or former faculty member's superior achievement in fundraising. Detweiler recognized Hauck and Rodger as visionary leaders who forged critical partnerships to advance the mission of Cal Poly and the CAED.

The former and current Construction Management department heads were lauded for their creation of more than 25 major industry and alumni partnerships that resulted in more than $5.5 million to expand the new state facility for the Construction Management Department and to build future facilities to support the college and the department.
