The work of students in the Graphic Design for Marketing program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) has earned accolades from the Design Professionals of Canada.
Wilson School of Design at KPU students Rowena Huang, Georgia Stone and Veronika Kansaka, along with KPU alum Bella Sanchez, have been recognized at the 2024 DesCan Vancouver Jim Rimmer Scholarship Awards.
Huang, a fourth year student, won a $1,000 scholarship for her project Innovate to Educate. The project includes a website and other materials supporting the United Nations’ International Day of the Girl Child, a day dedicated to celebrating the voices and power of girls, championing their rights worldwide and reflecting on the challenges they continue to face because of their gender.
Stone, Kansaka and Sanchez earned honourable mentions.
The annual Jim Rimmer Scholarships recognize students whose design work supports a community program, non-profit, social or environmental cause.
