Candice Sexton was awarded Purdue University's Efficiency Improvement awards for her systemic efforts in recruiting young women and girls in construction, and for immense support of an NSF entrepreneurial grant project.

Candice Sexton, a graduate teaching assistant in Purdue Polytechnic’s School of Construction Management Technology, was named one of six national trainees in the NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science) program.

Women in Construction Management (WICM) is a student-led organization in the BCM department that promotes careers for women in the construction industry through educational opportunities, social networking and community service.

Women In Construction Management (WICM) is very active in community service, networking within the industry and providing social outlets to its members. WICM’s community outreach event is Girl Scout Day. The event, usually hosted in the fall, attracts approximately 100 central Indiana Girl Scouts to Purdue and the Building Construction Management Construction Lab to earn their Ms. Fix-It Badge. They must complete eight activities to earn it.
