Four Anne Arundel Community College architecture students will be recognized at the Chesapeake Bay Region Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Design Awards Banquet for their work in the chapter’s student award category.

Bernard Jeffers of Severna Park will receive the Honor Award for “Rebounding Lands.” Jeffers also won a Jurors Citation in Design from the Maryland State American Institute of Architects for the same project earlier this fall.

Other winners are: Bret Woods of Glen Burnie, Merit Award for “Mitakuye Oyasin Refuge;” Ryan Blomeley of Annapolis, Merit Award for “Tracing Teton Tectonics;” and Richard McCallum of Pasadena, Citation Award for “Anomalous Nature.”

“Congratulations to all four students. This is a tremendous honor that recognizes your hard work, talent and determination,” said Michael D.
