On the evening of Friday, April 20, the Program in Environmental Design hosted its annual Awards Gala to recognize students for their design scholarships and awards. Prior to the ceremony, Program Director Kevin Krizek hosted a social hour for over 70 guests including, design professionals, ENVD alumni, faculty and staff.
Volunteers from the student body assist in planning the event every year.

Over 40 students submitted work to be considered, and 25 pieces were selected to be auctioned off. When the auction ended, all 25 pieces were sold and Designers Without Boundaries made over $400, which will be put towards the DWB scholarship program. Designers Without Boundaries is an academic scholarship program for first-generation and underrepresented students in ENVD.
