University Hospitals, together with Gilbane Building Co., and Regency Construction Services, Inc., awarded $61,000 in scholarships to students in the ACE (Architecture, Construction and Engineering) Mentor Program. This is the second $50,000 scholarship award made from the health system’s $200,000 donation to the ACE Mentor Program of Cleveland.

A special guest panel of industry professionals provided input into the presentations, including Terry Schwartz, Director, Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative; Bob Brown, Director of City Planning, City of Cleveland; Hunter Morison, Director, YSU Urban Design Center; and Aparna Bapu, The Rise Group.
