Dr. Keith Parker, director of the ULM School of Construction Management, said, “As a leader in construction education, the ULM School of Construction Management has a duty to promote and be part of this active campaign to educate those involved in working around underground utilities.”

A buffet style dinner will be served. This event is open to the public. Contact Parker at: (318) 342-1871 to reserve seating or for more information.
