Brittany Williams, architecture, received a multicultural leadership award from the K-State Alumni Association.

Each year, the Alumni Association presents the award to four outstanding multicultural seniors for their achievements during their college careers at K-State. The 2006 recipients were recognized at a reception in May.

Williams, St. Peters, MO, received the Bachelor of Architecture last month. She was nominated for the award by Professor Lynn Ewanow, Associate Dean, K-State College of Architecture Planning and Design (CAPD).

During her matriculation at K-State, Williams served as both president and vice president of NOMAS (the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students), playing an important leadership role in the growth of that organization and helping it to establish a stronger presence within CAPD. Under her guidance, the K-State chapter received the 2004 NOMAS Student Chapter of the Year Award. Williams served as a student ambassador/mentor for younger and prospective students, as well as a planning committee member for the CAPD mock interview and DesignExpo events. She was also a member of the K-State Multicultural Leadership Council.

“We are proud to honor these students for their years of service and leadership through multicultural organizations and activities,” said Alumni Association president Amy Button Renz. “The results of their efforts in encouraging diversity will leave lasting marks on the university.”
