NGA Staff Visit Prairie View A&M University
NGA - Michele Nosko | Published on 11/29/2022
Nicole Harris, NGA president & CEO, and Alicia Hamilton, NGA operations manager, joined Shonzia Thompson, Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA) executive director, and Philip Bell, president of the Steel Manufacturing Association (SMA), to talk with three student classes about career opportunities at trade associations and at NGA and SMA member companies.
The students of the Architecture and Construction Science programs were excited for the opportunity to learn more about trade associations and were eager to ask questions about the glass and steel industries. Many students asked for further information after the sessions.
In addition to addressing seniors, juniors, and sophomores at PVAMU’s School of Architecture founded by Nathelyne Archie-Kennedy, the first African American female engineer in Texas, Harris and her colleagues toured the university’s 25,000-square-foot Fabrication Center where students design and fabricate architectural building models, and learn how to use woodworking and metal machinery. The university also boasts a digital fabrication and conventional fabrication space along with an assembling space.
