#CARTAStudentSpotlight Congratulations to Justina Vaicelionyte (M.Arch ‘25) on winning FIU Student of the Year at the 2024 AIA Miami Design Awards! “I received this award based on my academic achievements and design work, with a nomination from the dedicated full-time faculty in the FIU Architecture program. Originally from Lithuania, I’ve called Miami home for the past 10 years, and it’s been an inspiring place to pursue my passion. With a background deeply rooted in sustainability and environmental responsibility, I’m driven to create built environments that feel like natural extensions of ecosystems, where architecture coexists harmoniously with nature.” - Justina Vaicelionyte We celebrate your success, Justina, and look forward to all the future achievements on your academic and professional journey! #FIUSOA #FIUArchitecture #CARTALEADS #cartacreativeforcesatwork #AIAMiami
