28.06.18 - Congratulations to students who received graduating awards June 14 — and thank you to our donors and friends who supported them!
On June 14, the Daniels Faculty held a reception to celebrate students graduating from our Honours Bachelor of Arts, Architectural Studies; Honours Bachelor of Arts, Visual Studies; Master of Architecture; Master of Landscape Architecture; Master of Urban Design; and Master of Visual Studies programs.
During the reception, a number of students were bestowed with awards, established through the generous support of Daniels Faculty donors and friends. Pictured at the top of this page is Kinan Hewitt, who received the OAA Architectural Guild Medal, with OAA Senior Vice President & Tresurer, Kathleen Kurtin.
Providing recognition and financial support to our students is essential to sustaining the high reputation and scholarship that the our Faculty enjoys, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has made this possible.
