KSU ENDOWMENT In 2021, the Board unanimously decided to establish an endowment with $40,000 to the KSU College of Architecture and Environmental Design. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and our Board’s former KSU Liaison, Steve Kordalski, this new fund ensures architectural scholarships to support a more diverse and equitable future of design.

Student Art/ Design Contest This outreach initiative established locally by Dan Bickerstaff, AIA, and the Shaker Heights School District reinforced our chapter’s goal to uplift young aspiring architects within our community. We invited design professionals into various art classrooms to share architectural principles, drawing strategies, and ultimately facilitated an art contest. With over 800 entries, the 5th and 6th grade students at Woodbury Elementary School designed a beautiful plaza to welcome and celebrate all students. Thanks to generous grants and donations, the plaza will be built in the very near future!
