About 

As a recent graduate from Andrews University's architecture school, I am looking for a firm where I could begin my architectural journey. Throughout my studies, I have discovered that the practice of architecture cannot be like a factory, mass producing a single project; instead, the most loved buildings that I have experienced exhibit the perfect combination of Vitruvian Firmitas, Utilitas and Venustas qualities. I am a motivated individual that is hungry for knowledge and an opportunity to put those skills learned in school to use.  Ultimately, I am working towards becoming a licensed architect and I am willing to put my efforts to reach this goal.

Alpha Rho Chi Bronze Medal, Award

Since 1914, Alpha Rho Chi, the National Professional Fraternity for Architecture and the Allied Arts, has promoted the profession of architecture by encouraging students to excel. To honor their achievements, the Alpha Rho Chi Medal is offered each year to over 100 schools of architecture, whose faculty select a graduating senior they feel best exemplifies these qualities.
In 1931, the Grand Council of Alpha Rho Chi established the Alpha Rho Chi Medal to "encourage professional leadership by rewarding student accomplishment." The Fraternity provides the medal to selected schools of architecture throughout the country to be awarded to the graduating senior who has shown an affinity for leadership, performed willing service for the school or department, and gives promise of real professional merit through his or her attitude and personality. The Alpha Rho Chi Medal is awarded annually to graduating seniors at accredited schools of architecture in the United States and Canada and at schools with an active chapter of Alpha Rho Chi Fraternity, and is judged by the faculty of that school of architecture as best exemplifying these qualities.
