The 2012-2014 class of Rose Fellows have spent the three years deeply embedded in the communities they serve, ranging from farmworkers to the elderly, to immigrant business owners. They have worked in shrinking cities like Detroit to booming cities like Boston, from urban St. Paul to rural Washington.  

Each of these dedicated designers has used architecture and community engagement as tools to develop more equitable communities. They will share their experience, their love of their communities, victories and lessons learned. They will address themes including design for the under-resourced, creating community spaces, and diversity in design. 

The program will include fellows’ presentations and dialogue with a public audience of approximately 200 students, faculty, and practitioners in community development and design.
