Jon Pope Leadership in Architecture Scholarship Winner, 2024-2025
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025
Congratulations to Nancy Wang, the 2024-2025 recipient of the Jon Pope Leadership in Architecture Scholarship.
Nancy earned her B.S. in Architecture in 2024 from the University of Minnesota, and is currently pursuing her Masters of Architecture also at the U of M.
Last month, she visited Pope Design Group’s office to have lunch with President Ward Isaacson.
Nancy interned at the firm the summer of 2024, and was a wonderful part of our internship group, supporting our Industrial & Manufacturing team.
The Jon Pope Leadership in Architecture Scholarship was established in 2016 following Jon Pope’s retirement from the firm, to honor Jon’s legacy for the business of architecture by supporting University of Minnesota architecture students with a similar ambition for design.
Jon devoted the better part of his career to the mentorship of the next generation of architects and designers, instilling in them the same entrepreneurial spirit that drove him to establish the firm so many years ago.
