Mark Robbins, Dean of Syracuse University's School of Architecture is desperately seeking young men and women of color interested in pursuing a five year professional degree in
Architecture. He says he's deeply committed to bringing diversity to his field and has scholarship money set aside to fully cover education costs for 10 students. He says that
Hispanic enrollment in the school has increased substantially, but it's been harder to attract Blacks.

Syracuse University's School of Architecture has a great reputation and this seems like a terrific opportunity. Please pass this on to everyone you know.
