On May 15, the Department of Architecture hosted faculty, students, families, and friends to celebrate the accomplishments of the new graduates from our Bachelor of Science in Architecture, Master of Design, and Master of Architecture degree programs. Undergraduate Program Director Erika Zekos and Graduate Program Director Ann Marshall welcomed students, families, faculty, and friends before honoring graduating students and scholarship recipients. Along with recognizing each graduate, the event included our annual awards ceremony recognizing outstanding student achievement. This year’s event was especially poignant as we recognized Professor Stephen Schreiber’s 21 years of leadership as Department Chair.
