Last Thursday, over 350 RISE presenters participated in the 2020 Research, Innovation, Scholarship, + Entrepreneurship Expo (RISE). Despite the fact that this year’s RISE expo was moved to an entirely virtual platform in response to COVID 19 crisis, student from the School of Architecture fully engaged in the process.

Judges and viewers from across the country and beyond were able to participate in the presentations and once again, our student were extremely successful as finalists and award winners
