Each student chapter holds a competition, juried by professional designers, to select the one Student Merit winner who will represent their school at the District Conference. The winner will present at the IDSA District Conference, and a jury of professional designers select the National Student Merit Award winner for the district. Each year, the five National Student Merit winners are invited to display their work at the National Conference. This elevated recognition serves to connect undergraduate design students with the IDSA\u0027s national scope while honoring them in a national arena for academic design achievement.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27213","created_gmt":"2011-03-14 11:34:25","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:54:30","author":"Teri Nagel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-03-18T19:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-03-18T21:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-03-18T21:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-03-18 23:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-03-19 01:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-03-19 01:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"64946":{"id":"64946","type":"image","title":"Ieva Mikolaviciute","body":null,"created":"1449176783","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:06:23","changed":"1475894574","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:54","alt":"Ieva Mikolaviciute","file":{"fid":"192138","name":"Ieva_Merit.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Ieva_Merit_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Ieva_Merit_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":636027,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Ieva_Merit_0.jpg?itok=d77rNDGv"}}},"media_ids":["64946"],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1225","name":"School of Industrial Design"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"12370","name":"idsa"},{"id":"3128","name":"Industrial Design"},{"id":"167467","name":"student merit award"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:kevin.shankwiler@coa.gatech.edu\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EKevin Shankwiler\u003C\/a\u003E, chapter president, IDSA Atlanta\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
