Summary
This medal is awarded to a graduating student from a school of architecture who “has shown an ability for leadership, performed willing service for his/her school and department and gives promise of real professional merit through attitude and personality.” The medal is given by Alpha Rho Chi, the national professional architectural fraternity, “to encourage professional leadership by rewarding student accomplishment, to promote the ideals of professional merit by commending qualities in the student which do not necessarily pertain to scholarship.”
