CIM Students Attend ICRI Conference in Houston

Today was one of the long days at International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) Conference for all CIM students. Starting at 8 am ending at around 9pm, CIM students have enjoyed networking, attending technical sessions, and helping setting up and attending the Prestigious ICRI Recognition Luncheon. At the end of the day, the CIM students have attended the Houston/North Texas Chapter Reception.

The strong presence of CIM students of NJIT, MTSU, Texas State and California State was felt everywhere and people were acknowledging them specially the ICRI president, Mr. Don Ford. He said in the Recognition Luncheon speech “CIM students are always welcomed to ICRI conventions”. He asked the students to stand up and asked the attendees to give them a big round of applauds. People were happy to see CIM students around and share business cards with them. I have been contacted by many companies to offer the CIM students jobs and internships. We kept having a great welcome from everybody in the conference. I would like to thank Tanya Komas, the CIM program director at California State and the member of ICRI Board of Directors for allowing us to have this great opportunity. I would like also to acknowledge the attendance of Jiong Hu, a CIM faculty from Texas State. I would like also to acknowledge the attendance of Alex Somohano (ICRI Metro NY Chapter President) and Elena Danke (ICRI Metro NY Chapter Vice President). ICRI Metro NY Chapter has always been a great support to NJIT-CIM students.



Finally, I would like to thank the following ICRI Executive Committee, Board of Directors and staff for their great effort assisting CIM students and supporting the program. Special thanks are due to :



Don Ford, ICRI current President

Chuck Knight, ICRI past President

Bill Earley, ICRI Vice President

Kelly Page, ICRI Executive/Technical Director

Dale Regnier, ICRI Manager, Marketing and Chapters


I received a great and positive feedback from CIM students.
