Architecture major and Colorado native Marcus Vazquez knew he wanted to make a difference in the world, and that he could do it through architecture.��

“Constantly a source of joy, optimism, and always ensures people feel included. He is someone who creates a space for his peers to thrive and always made the DMC a space that connected people. Marcus is a student that defines what makes the ENVD community so great.”��–A�ԴDzԲ⳾�dzܲ�

Always take opportunities when it presents itself. Create goals (long term or short), if you know where you are going, then you will��know how to get there!

I was inspired to come into ENVD because��I believe that I could make a difference in the world and I knew that I could do that with architecture. Previously, I was an integrative physiology major and I transferred because I wanted to make my ideas become a reality, and I believed ENVD could help me pursue that goal.

I'll miss the community at ENVD. I loved being a part of such an amazing group of peers and professors. I'm going to miss sneaking out of my studio to say a quick��hello to my friends. I am also going to miss the��late nights (sometimes all-nighters) with my peers–so many laughs were shared even when it got hard.

Perhaps my favorite memory would be the Gala��my first year at ENVD. It was so much��fun to be with everyone, sharing laughs, dancing, and getting to meet new people. Furthermore, to see what amazing work students were doing and��recognizing/celebrating those who work hard!

After I graduate I plan to go into graduate school for architecture. Because of current circumstances, I will be taking a year off and working for a firm in California. I will be applying to UCLA, USC, and SCI-Arch. I hope to specialize in creating better health facilities, as I have always had a passion for medicine.��
