Graduating Architecture students Venessa Davidenko, Caine Knuckles, David Rico-Gomez, and Eve Tobey and Interior Design graduates Suyang Yao and Xiyue Zhang were named among the top 100 students graduating in their fields by Metropolis magazine’s 2022 Future100. Owen Fernando Patia (Interior Design) received two awards: Emerging Light Designer of the Year from @lightecture and a 2022 LIT Lighting Design Award for his project Aqua.

CCA’s 2022 Ronald & Anita Wornick Award Exhibition, which recognizes students in the wood arts, featured the work of award recipients Ina Trayanouskaya (Furniture) and Nicole Wong (Furniture). The Society of Illustrators selected the work of four CCA Illustration students—out of 6,721 entries—for inclusion in its 2022 Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition exhibition: Tony Bernardo, Jade Howe, Brian Kwon, and Xiangzi Xu; additionally, Howe was one of only 33 students awarded a scholarship. Finally, a mosquito net made from lemon rinds by Zahra Jajarmikhayat (MFA Design) was named overall winner runnerup in the 2022 Biodesign Challenge. Congratulations!
