Construction Management Instructor Honored for Teaching Excellence

An Eastern Kentucky University construction management instructor has been recognized for teaching excellence.

The Associated Schools of Construction selected Scott Arias, in his third year at EKU, for the Regional Excellence Teaching Award for Region 3.

The award recognizes the faculty member’s contribution to construction education, excellence in teaching, and dedication to the construction profession. Region 3 includes 16 universities.

“Scott has done an excellent job serving the department, college, university and the construction profession,” said Dr. Tim Ross, chair of the Department of Applied Engineering and Technology. “I am thrilled that he has been recognized by ASC for his efforts.”

Arias will now compete against seven other regional winners for the national award.
