From April 14 to 18, the University of Houston Career Services partnered with the National Student Employment Association to celebrate student workers across campus during Student Employment Week. Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design second-year architecture student Sanam Davariar took home the prize for Undergraduate Student Employee of the Year for her role as a digital media work-study student on the College’s marketing and communications team.

Hines College senior interior architecture student, Lene Fourie, has been named a top interior design student in the METROPOLIS Future100 list. She collaborated with associate professor Marta Rodriguez on two projects —Fan House and Habitable Curtains — challenging notions of space, fostering environments that evolve with human needs.

At the beginning of March, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Fort Worth Design Awards celebration honored Hines College students for their outstanding projects in the 2024 AIAFW Student Design Awards. This year’s class of winners not only continued a tradition of winning high praise from the AIAFW Student Design Awards for the fourth year in a row, but they also took home three out of the four top prizes.
