The competition gives&nbsp;students the opportunity to apply skills learned in the classroom to a real construction company by completing a management project/proposal. Proposals are submitted to a group&nbsp;of construction company executives who act as judges. During the convention, students defend their proposals to the judges in front of an audience.&nbsp;Representing Georgia Tech at the competition were School of Building Construction students Saba Diba, Jeffrey Miller, Briana Holcomb, Stephanie Azahar, and School of Architecture student Olivia King.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Senior Building Construction major Jeffrey Miller was recognized at the NAHB Student Chapter Award Ceremony &amp; 2013 HELP Grant Award Ceremony as the&nbsp;2013 Outstanding Student. This award recognizes&nbsp;one student each year for his academic standing, involvement with NAHB Student Chapters and local Home Builders Association, and&nbsp;his interest in pursuing a career involved with the residential building industry.&nbsp; Jeffrey is the vice president of the Georgia Tech Student Construction Association, is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and is Corporal in the US Army Reserves.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
