Commitment will Bolster Engineering and Construction Management Programs

Evansville, Ind. (05/14/2024) — The University of Evansville's (UE) FORWARD >> Campaign continues toward its goal of $125 million in philanthropy to support the University's people, programs, and places. Recently, Traylor Construction Group, long-time friends, and champions of the University, provided a $250,000 commitment to support strategic priorities on the University's campus. Traylor Construction Group's contribution will have a direct and profound impact on initiatives aimed at enhancing enrollment and ensuring the sustainability of the University for years to come.

The Traylor family's commitment to the university and specifically UE's School of Engineering and Computer Science spans decades and generations of Traylor's. Traylor Construction Group has hired many of the University's Engineering graduates through the years and continues to provide internships and immersive opportunities for students to integrate with Traylor Construction Group prior to graduation.
