will offer the award recipient opportunity for summer em ploym ent during
at least one of the five years of schooling. W hile enrolled, the aw ardee may
also request an internship at the BOORA office.
“As one of O regon’s largest architecture firms, we feel that we have a
responsibility to serve future generations of architects in our state,” said
Dennis O ’Toole, AI A, Managing Partnerof B O O R A .“W echose to support
a minority student to reinforce our belief that the field of architecture should
encourage students from all ethnic and economic backgrounds.”

cither applied to, or been admitted by, the Department o f Architecture at the

o f O regon.”

donations can have on our School and the education of students for the
future.”

the opportunity to establish long-term relationships with the scholarship
recipients. We hope that in addition to getting a fine education in architec­
ture at the University o f Oregon, students will have the chance to become
familiar with the hands-on realities of the field through association with our
office.”
