Meet Our Students

Cassidy Marshall

Cassidy Marshall started a job as an assistant project manager at Meyer Najem, an Indianapolis-adjacent construction company, just days after graduating with her bachelor’s degree. The job offer came after Cassidy’s internship through the construction management program. She initially studied visual communication with the hope of finding a career path in art along the way, but decided she wanted something different and changed her major to construction management. “It sounded like something that involved problem-solving and working with people, something I would enjoy.”
