The Environmental Design Scholarship Committee is proud to announce the 2023-2024 winners of the ENVD Research Award. The ENVD Research Award financially assists with senior-level ENVD honors and capstone projects. Congratulations to ENVD students Ellie Muncy and Ainsley McElwee!  

Muncy, a sustainable planning and urban design major, is working to better understand, document and problem-solve equality in downtown Â鶹¹ÙÍø, through the lens of women’s safety. McElwee, also a sustainable planning and urban design major, is revisiting Â鶹¹ÙÍø and its historic districts to consider and present new opportunities in telling a comprehensive narrative that weaves both the historical past and the present day. Both Muncy’s and McElwee’s work, while focused and originating in Â鶹¹ÙÍø, could have influence and impact beyond the city limits. Â
