We are excited to share that two School of Architecture students were recently recognized with a significant external award. MArch student Jocelyn Hernandez and MArch student Jamia Smith received the AIA Diversity Scholarship. The Diversity Scholarship is an opportunity to attract and retain diverse, talented young professionals in Chicago and recognizes the value of new and unique voices in the profession. Awardees are paired with a mentor from the AIA Chicago membership to receive ongoing guidance throughout their educational tenure.
