APDesign student earns top honors in Steelcase NEXT competition
Kanoa San Miguel, a fourth-year graduate student in interior architecture & product design in the College of Architecture, Planning & Design, or APDesign, received top honors in the NEXT competition sponsored by Steelcase. San Miguel was awarded a $2,500 scholarship with an additional $2,500 for the department. More than 900 students from all over the country competed and narrowed down to five finalists and five honorable mentions. The five finalists were invited to a three-day event before a panel of judges at the Steelcase headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Students presented their projects to the judges, defended their concepts, and communicated their design decisions with a Q&A that followed. Judging was very difficult as all of the competitors exceeded expectations; however, it was San Miguel who ultimately prevailed with his fourth-year studio project.
