成人直播鈥檚 Brian Moore was installed as the inaugural Brent Scarbrough and Company Endowed Chair in Construction Management on Monday, marking the first endowed faculty position on the institution鈥檚 Marietta Campus.

Endowed chairs provide faculty with sustained resources to support research, teaching, and service, while strengthening the department鈥檚 ability to recruit and retain top talent.  Brent Scarbrough 鈥�86 and his company, which he founded as a student at Southern Polytechnic State University, provided impetus to create a $1 million endowment to support Construction Management faculty, industry-focused research, and enhanced learning opportunities.

鈥淓ndowed positions are one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a faculty member,鈥� said Hazem Rashed-Ali, dean of the College of Architecture and Construction Management. 鈥淭hey are a significant help in recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty and providing them with sustained support for their scholarly activities. Most importantly, this chair demonstrates our commitment to increasing the national prominence of the college and the university.鈥�

Moore, professor and chair of the Department of Construction Management, has led the department for more than three years. He called the endowment a proud moment for the program.

鈥淚 was overjoyed and so proud for the Department of Construction Management,鈥� Moore said. 鈥淪upport from the endowment will empower students to participate in national competitions, offset study abroad costs, and provide faculty with resources for professional development and research that might otherwise be out of reach. This is a transformative investment that will allow our students and faculty to be on even larger stages in the discipline.鈥�

In addition to funding faculty and student enrichment, the endowment can be used to bring industry experts to campus, support applied research initiatives, and purchase equipment that keeps 成人直播鈥檚 labs current with industry standards. The flexible nature of the fund allows the department chair to respond to emerging needs and opportunities that benefit students and faculty alike.

Established in 1995, 成人直播鈥檚 Department of Construction Management is the largest program of its kind in Georgia, offering undergraduate and graduate degrees that prepare students for leadership roles in one of the state鈥檚 fastest-growing industries. The creation of the endowed chair reflects the department鈥檚 growth and its increasingly strong ties to industry partners.

鈥淭his kind of industry support will be a catalyst for others to see how they too can impact future generations of construction industry leaders,鈥� he said. 鈥淏rent鈥檚 career path and generosity show our students that they, too, can make profound impacts on others as their careers flourish.鈥�

Scarbrough, the founder and CEO of Brent Scarbrough and Company, began his business while he was a junior at SPSU, which consolidated with 成人直播 in 2015. The endowed chair reflects his commitment to give back to the institution that provided the core skills to succeed in industry.

鈥淪outhern Polytechnic State University gave me the foundation to start my company, and I鈥檝e never forgotten what that meant for my career,鈥� Scarbrough said. 鈥淭his endowed chair is my way of giving back and helping ensure that today鈥檚 students have the same chance to learn, grow, and make their mark on the industry. I hope this gift inspires others to invest in the future of construction management education at 成人直播.鈥�
