CSM Group is pleased to announce Emily Harlow as the recipient of the 2012 CSM Architect Fellowship Grant. Harlow is a senior at Andrews University majoring in Architecture, Art, and Design.
With the money from the grant, she has chosen to use it entirely for the Chapter of American Institute of Architecture Student’s Freedom by Design Program at Andrews University.
Harlow is the director of this program, which provides students with the chance to utilize their unique skills and education to engage the local community. The main focus of the group is on low-income elderly and disabled residents. The money will help fund their next project for the community.
The CSM Architect Fellowship is a $2,000 grant that can be used for, but is not limited to, professional advancement in the field of architecture. The goal of this grant is to get future architects learning more about the industry and allow for them to share their knowledge with others.
