Environmental Design Diverse Scholars (EDDS) is an academic scholarship program for first-generation and underrepresented students in the Program in Environmental Design.
Our Mission
To enrich the academic experience of students through inclusive excellence and provide opportunities to build community with other students, staff and faculty in meaningful ways that promote a collaborative, cooperative and supportive environment.
Events
Environmental Design Diverse Scholars engage in various events throughout the semester, ranging from leadership experiences, opportunities to meet professionals in the design community and volunteer events throughout the state of Colorado. Furthermore, EDDS holds conversations surrounding design injustice, environmental issues, and gender inequality.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, EDDS hosted a virtual podcast series with guest speakers to have conversations surrounding these topics of injustice.
EDDS involvement and leadership events vary throughout the year and will be advertised at the beginning of each semester. For questions or inquiries about EDDS please contact hugo.arreolatinoco@colorado.edu.
