WBA: Giving Back by Mentoring

At WBA, giving back to the community is one of the firm's core values. We understand that as professionals we need to share our success and skills with the community. We are proud of our very own Jeremy Cutts and Sharon Hughes who volunteer as mentors for the Birmingham chapter of the ACE  Mentor Program of America.

“I am honored to work for a company that allows me to mentor and invest in the lives of these students. It is great to see them so excited about the career that I am truly passionate about.”

— Sharon Hughes, graduate architect

Along with other professionals in the area, they mentor local high school students throughout the school year and guide them on projects relating to engineering, building and design. These projects include planning city layouts, designing roads and building a gingerbread house. 

In an urban planning exercise, the students' neighborhood revitalization proposed design.

The students put their design and building skills to use in a friendly gingerbread house competition.

“It’s remarkable that students have the opportunity to be exposed to professionals in the building design industry. I didn’t meet an architect until I was in college, so to be able to meet and have conversations with the people I wanted to be would have been invaluable.”

— Jeremy Cutts, architect

Thankful for our future designers

We had a visit from Edgewood Elementary School's fifth grade enrichment program. They were full of energy and questions and ready to learn the ins and outs of architecture and interior design. We received Thank-you notes from all the students to put on display in the studio. We are thankful for their enthusiasm and interest in the industry and look forward to the next generation of young architects and designers.
