All of these club activities are meant to be educational as well as fun.  Each of the activities are group oriented, and take place outside of the classroom.  They allow the club members to interact with other students, faculty and people from both agriculture and construction industries. Plus, there are enough activities offered throughout the year to keep all of the members involved and interested. 

The ACSM Club provides its members with a variety of opportunities to grow personally and professionally.  An ACSM Club member has the chance to hold any of the officer positions along with committee chair positions.  These positions allow members to take on important leadership roles that develop skills that may add to employment opportunities.

 ACSM Club members also have the chance to hear speakers that have a variety of backgrounds.  Some of the past speakers include representatives from dealerships, seed companies, construction firms, faculty, and student interns to share their experiences. 

Members have a chance to network with these speakers after they make initial contact.
