Masonry Students Compete for Sigmon Memorial Scholarship
Students in ARC 432, Architectural Construction Systems, recently showcased their work as part of a juried competition for the Sigmon Memorial Scholarship. This year marked the 18th year of the Sigmon Memorial Scholarship Competition and Award presentation sponsored by the North Carolina Masonry Contractors Association (NCMCA). Since 2001, NCMCA has worked in partnership with Distinguished Professor of Architecture Pat Rand, FAIA, DPACSA, and his ARC 432 Architectural Construction Systems course. The Sigmon Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Randy, David, and Dwayne Sigmon. Major funding for this scholarship comes from the proceeds of the Annual NCMCA Golf Tournament.
Students shared their work with industry professionals serving as jurors. This year’s jurors included Doug Burton, President of Whitman Masonry, and Jason Miller, Assoc. Professor and Director of the Building Science program at Appalachian State University.
