HU STUDENT TO SERVE ON NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE BOARD

Hampton, VA - Adanna L. Woodson, a fifth-year architecture student at Hampton University, was elected to serve on the board of the National Organization of Minority Architects during the annual conference held in Chicago in October.

The northern Virginian native will be one of two student representatives on the board.

“The position is a great honor to represent Hampton University and the viewpoints of minority architect students around the country,” Woodson said.

She hopes to foster supportive communication between all groups within the architecture career field, particularly with the NOMA student chapters during the next two years of her tenure on the board.

Woodson plans to participate in regional chapter meetings and educational workshops to the fullest extent possible.

NOMA, an American Institute of Architects Affiliate, was established in 1971 by 12 African-American architects to promote professionalism and camaraderie among minority architects.

Woodson believes the opportunity to network and fellowship with peers has proven to be time well spent. She encourages fellow students to contact her through the Hampton University Department of Architecture for more information about the organization and its objectives or visit the website www.noma.net.
