Announcing the 2023 ARE Scholarship Recipient
Congratulations to Ugyen Sangmo, AIAS, NOMAS, for receiving the 2023 ARE Scholarship.
Ugyen was selected to receive AIA Minnesota’s 2023 ARE Scholarship. In 300 words or less, applicants were required to write an essay describing how they hope to bring AIA Minnesota’s core values to bear in their work as a licensed architect.
The thesis for Ugyen’s essay is, “Architecture has the power to create change and improve our everyday experience with the utilization of the four AIA Minnesota core values of Authenticity, Equity, Collaboration, and Integrity. Integrating these four core values in my architectural profession, I will be able to create a positive impact on future clients, teams, and the future of the world.”
