Our 2022 Erwin-Ramsey Fellow was interested in creating spaces where young people feel a sense of belonging and pride. Brandon Eley (UVA ’22) came to the Fellowship with a plethora of experience working with young people for The Gates Scholarship, Young Leaders Summit, Collegiate 100, and Project Pipeline. These experiences and others developed a passion in him for using what he learned in his design education to serve young people.

For the first time, we are offering the opportunity to schedule a four-week Fellowship to focus on more a more robust project.
Our 2021 Erwin-Ramsey Fellow was interested in space, people, and power. Gabriel Andrade came to the Fellowship already with experience in helping everyday people become more engaged and empowered in the shared spaces we occupy everyday.
Naturally, the Fellowship needed to culminate in an experience rather than a presentation. Guests, students, and BRW staff participated in a walking tour throughout the Mall to practice intervening and shaping the space around us.

This three-week program will focus on a specific integrative project that contributes to Charlottesville’s affordable housing goals and will be based on the program’s curriculum as well as the ingenuity and interests of the fellow. During the program, the fellow will build relationships with residents, clients, and decision-makers in the Charlottesville housing market, while gaining a higher level of professional experience than entry-level and internship positions.
