FIU VISITS THE PODCAST

In the 15th episode of the Set Apart Podcast, we welcome Dr. Jose Faria, a highly respected professor in the Moss Department of Construction Management at FIU. Dr. Faria, who has been a supportive mentor since the inception of John Bell Construction, has recently been named the new Endowed Chair of the Moss Department of Construction Management.
Dr. Faria has had a profound impact on both students and the community. He has developed initiatives to help underprivileged individuals gain construction skills, including the homeless and formerly incarcerated. He has also significantly increased the graduation rate in his department through curriculum changes and innovative software. In recognition of his excellence in research, teaching, and community outreach, he was awarded the 2022 Real Triumphs Faculty Award.
In this episode, we discuss how Dr. Faria got into construction, his journey at FIU, and how he has seen the program grow. We also talk about the legacy he wants to leave at FIU and the impactful construction career fair that connects many construction companies with students-where I was hired by Suffolk Construction.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about education, mentorship, and building a lasting impact.
