Announcing our 2016-2017 co-presidents!

Libby Bland is joining us for her first term! She is an Architecture&City Planning dual degree student from Virginia Beach, VA. Currently Libby is interning at Community Futures Lab in the Sharswood neighborhood obtaining oral histories from the former Blumberg Towers and eminent domain. With a background in costuming and interest in african american vernacular architecture particularly in the South, Libby is interested in developing a means to have community controlled design.

Kat Engleman is returning for a second term and is a dual degree Architecture&Landscape Architecture student from Baltimore, MD. She is currently interning at Youth United for Change in Kensington, an educational justice non-profit demanding community control for black&brown working class people. Kat has background in design and community organizing and is interested in creating spaces that disrupt systems of oppression in our communities that then allow for self-determination to take place.

Congratulations & Looking forward to a new school year!
