Irma Ramirez is a professor in the architecture department and director of the China Study Abroad program at Cal Poly Pomona. Her accolades include the NCARB Grand Prize, National Lynton Citation for Distinguished Engaged Scholarship for the Habitat 21 Sustainable Settlements Project in Tijuana with Corazon, and awards from the American Planning Association and American Institute of Certified Planners and Environmental Design Research Association for work in the China program. She also recently brought a group of Cal Poly Pomona students into Augustus Hawkins High School to teach ninth graders about architecture and urban planning.
What I admire most about Irma is that she really pushes herself and her students to grow through uncomfortable new experiences and interdisciplinary thinking.
