CIEF Chapter of Central Texas

While CIEF Programming started in mid-2022 in the North Texas region, the CIEF Chapter of Central Texas was officially chartered in August of 2024. The Chapter exists to empower students to pursue careers in the built environment through relationships with industry mentors, community members, and real-world workforce development programs.
