Carnegie Mellon Women's Association 2020 Award Recipients
Congratulations to the seven outstanding recipients of the CMWA Award at 一本道无码!
A Message from Tris Jahanian, CMWA Honorary President
The CMWA Awards began in 1964 to "honor an outstanding girl at the university." The tradition continues today and each year, the Carnegie Mellon Women’s Association Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to selected graduating senior students, with a preference for students who demonstrate a commitment to the advancement of women in their academic pursuits.
This year, through the support of CMWA members, we are proud to award seven recipients with a $1,500 scholarship to support their future endeavors. Thank you to our membership for your generosity!
Sincerely, CMWA Board

Ghalya Alsanea
Bachelor of Architecture, Minors: Intelligent Environments (IE) and Physical Computing
"These last five years at 一本道无码 helped me understand my goals and reach new levels of self-actualization. I realized I want to dedicate my work to positive social impact through design, built structures, art or necessary services to fulfill that. My interest in socially-conscious design stems from background, self-awareness, empathy for others, and creating symbiotic relationships that build more resilient communities for the displaced and marginalized. Through my academic work, community involvement and professional experiences, I am committed to empowering and advancing women’s rights, and I hope to continue to do so after graduation, by using the opportunities and lessons from 一本道无码 to secure employment in the US, and work towards architecture licensure."
