STUDENT AWARDS & HONORS Making a Difference

Students at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee School of Architecture & Urban Planning put their training into action facilitated through a number of top honors.

SOLAR DECATHLON 2022 Design Competition

Students in Professor Mark Keane’s Zero Net Energy studio traveled to Colorado in April to compete in the U.S. Solar Decathlon Competition where they won second place in the division of New Housing. The studio, a collaboration with UW-Madison’s engineering program, designed the Egg Harbor home to be a modular, factory-built home built to the highest energy efficiency standards that respond to climate change. Congratulations on your achievement!

NOMAS National Organization of Minority Architecture Students

By Isabella Cosentino, NOMAS Co-President

NOMAS this last spring was full of events such as firm tours and professional development workshops. NOMAS toured various firms all around Milwaukee and Chicago such as Plunkett Raysich Architects, CannonDesign, Skidmore Owens & Merrill and many more. Students walked away with professionally reviewed resumes, new LinkedIn profiles and feedback for their final studio deliverables.

We are happy to provide students from all different backgrounds with the tools they need to become successful in their postgrad careers while they feel represented in a group of other minorities. Our mission is to champion diversity in the field of architecture.

WIDS Women In Design Students

By Alexis Meyer, WIDS Leader & Founder

As a link between students and professionals, WIDS continued to connect students and professionals in engaging in meaningful ways over the 2021-22 school year. Through our mentoring events, AXP discussions and firm tours, our members connected and networked with individuals from Groth Design Group, Kahler Slater, and TKWA. We visited design firms Continuum, Cannon Design, Skidmore Owens & Merrill, SNHA, and several others. Our annual speed mentoring event co-hosted by WID, AIA Wisconsin and Wisco NOMA was a success at connecting over 100 students and professionals around the state of Wisconsin. Sarah Lunow will be taking over the leadership role of WIDS this fall.

We are excited to continue empowering women in the design field and look forward to making meaningful connections.

AIAS American Institute of Architecture Students

By Anna Wand, AIAS President 2021-22 and Drew Tillman, AIAS 2022-23 AIAS provided many opportunities for SARUP students throughout the 2021-2022 academic year. This year we focused on offering networking and career development opportunities for students to connect within and outside of the SARUP community. We hosted events such as a T-Shirt Design Night, Pumpkin Carving, and our Annual Sandcastle Competition to bring students together through fun activities. Networking was another great opportunity we offered students by running two mentorship programs—MentArch and ArCulture—and through various firm tours hosted for us by local Milwaukee firms. We finished the year with SUPERjury, an end-of-the-year event celebrating all SARUP student work.

Sample Journal

By Jacob Rohan, Co-Senior Editor

Sample Journal is a team of ten to twelve student designers from various places within our school. Each year we curate a collection of student work that addresses a specific concept or mission decided by that year’s members. Last year, Sample Issue D highlighted work happening outside the hierarchical academic setting, allowing students to re-introduce themselves by their strengths in forms of painting, photography, collage, and much more. You can follow our journey this upcoming year on our Instagram (@samplejournal) and check the link in our bio for digital copies of past editions!
