President's Message
The hard work of our committees carries on no matter the season. Our Scholarship Committee announced that applications are being accepted for our 2021 IESNYC MERIT SCHOLARSHIP. This will be the fifth year for this awards program, and we are proud of our past recipients.
Our STUDENT LIGHTING COMPETITION announced the theme for this year’s event. “Practically Speaking” will challenge students to create a lighting installation that engages with the idea of using light in environmental storytelling. The competition has been held every year since 2000, and it has been one of our Section’s shining stars. The SLC Committee has been working overtime to make sure we don’t miss a beat by holding a virtual event. I can’t wait to see this year’s display of creativity and innovation. Check our website for the latest details. This is an event not to be missed!. More >
