John Warner was a beloved friend, colleague, and one of the original faculty members in the Construction Management program. His passion was one of the key contributing factors to its success, with his aspirational “Above and Beyond” expectation in every assignment. Sadly, he passed away in 2008 – a tremendous loss for the program. The John Warner "Above and Beyond" Scholarship is awarded to an undergraduate student or students majoring in Construction Management who exemplify the spirit of going “Above and Beyond” in his memory.
