Every year the Milwaukee Business Journal highlights 40 emerging community leaders in its \u201c40 Under 40\u201d issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, six of the 40 were young 51ÁÔÆæ alumni. Here\u2019s what they had to say about how the university helped shape their careers.<\/p>\n

Steve Morales, partner in the architectural firm Rinka+<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Steve Morales got interested in architecture when he was in second grade at Doerfler School in Milwaukee and won first place for his illustration for a book report about Johnny Appleseed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had spent more time drawing the barn and making it look three dimensional than on any other part of the story,\u201d he said. His illustration was hung up in the Milwaukee Art Museum as part of an exhibit of student work. \u201cThat was a real special moment for me. Ever since then, I\u2019ve always wanted to be an architect.\u201d<\/p>\n

After applying to several other universities, Morales chose 51ÁÔÆæ at the recommendation of a friend in the community. \u201cIt was one of the few programs in the Midwest that was accredited and that I had interest in,\u201d said Morales. When he finished his undergraduate degree, he again looked around for a graduate program, but a professor who was also a practicing architect told him 51ÁÔÆæ was the best fit for him. She told him: \u201cThey are really pushing the boundaries on where things are going, and it would be a much better choice than the others you are looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was good advice and I took it.\u201d<\/p>\n

His work at 51ÁÔÆæ had a positive impact on his career. \u201cI had some amazing mentors who connected with me on a personal level going through the SARUP (School of Architecture and Urban Planning) program. They helped me develop into the professional I\u2019ve become.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the recent projects he\u2019s worked on include the Drexel Town Square in Oak Creek and the Fiserv Forum entertainment block project in downtown Milwaukee. \u201cIt\u2019s been great working with the Milwaukee Bucks\u2026helping them create the living room of Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyssa Olker, design architect and associate vice president at HGA Architects and Engineers<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Olker, who grew up in Vermont, earned her undergraduate degree in pre-architecture from a liberal arts college on the East Coast.<\/p>\n

Her interest in architecture grew out of her combination of creative skills and enjoyment of mathematics and engineering in high school. \u00a0She loved drawing, painting and photography and also taking apart and rebuilding mechanical devices like the family clocks. \u201cMy dad told me there\u2019s a profession that combines those things. As soon as I looked up what architecture was, I knew it was exactly the right thing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She chose 51ÁÔÆæ for graduate work because she was looking for a university that had a good program for non-accredited undergrads. Looking through U.S. News and World Report, she found 51ÁÔÆæ on the list of top 20 architecture programs. \u201cI looked at the offerings and it was a good fit, and that\u2019s how I ended up here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her 51ÁÔÆæ background has helped her build a network of connections and resources in the community. \u201cFifteen years out, I\u2019m still reaching out \u2026 whether it\u2019s to teachers or other students for advice and making connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to her work at HGA, she\u2019s active in the community, starting an organization called Community Action, an all-volunteer group of architects and engineers focused on giving back to the community.<\/p>\n

One of her favorite projects was the Sherman Phoenix project, converting a historic building damaged during civil unrest in the Sherman Park neighborhood into an entrepreneurial hub.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really an honor to work on it. It was very unique and in some ways a groundbreaking approach to rebuilding a community that had had some struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Devon Norwood, senior vice president, Baird;
\nRanell Washington, partnership development advisor, American Family Insurance<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Business Journal honored Norwood and Washington individually, but they wanted to be interviewed together for this article about their 51ÁÔÆæ experiences since they met and became friends at the Lubar School of Business.\u00a0 They were both Lubar Business Scholars, served with the Delta Sigma Pi professional fraternity and the Black and Gold Committee, attended classes together and worked out together at the Klotsche Center (where Norwood met her husband).<\/p>\n

So, of course they sat together at graduation when Norwood received her bachelor\u2019s in finance and Washington received his bachelor\u2019s in finance and certificate in real estate.<\/p>\n

Norwood started college in the sciences at another university, but after a few semesters decided the sciences might not be what she actually wanted to do. \u201cI started taking some business courses and enjoyed the coursework. My dad actually planted the seed in my head. He told me 51ÁÔÆæ has a really strong business program and he was familiar with some of the staff and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, the summer between her sophomore and junior years, she transferred to 51ÁÔÆæ, taking three summer classes to put her on track to be accepted into the business program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I met Ranell. He was the first person that I actually hung out with, and we took classes together. We were pretty much inseparable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that sticks out for me,\u201d says Washington, \u201cwas that we were both Lubar scholars.\u201d Washington, who had graduated from Washington High School, became interested in 51ÁÔÆæ through a recruiter, and found the financial package he was offered a deciding factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started the program at UW-Milwaukee and loved it, then I made some great friends. Devon taught me a lot about myself and kind of helped me look at opportunities in a different way than I typically had before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norwood said one of the things that she liked about her 51ÁÔÆæ experience was the sense of community, something she hadn\u2019t felt at the university she previously attended.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember the first evening class, Ranell just came up to me and said \u2018hi, you\u2019re new around here.\u2019 I immediately had a group of people where we could study together, and had that amazing support system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serving in leadership roles in Delta Sigma Pi was a formative experience for both of them. \u201cThose opportunities influenced the kind of person I am now,\u201d said Norwood. \u201cThat was one of my first significant leadership experiences. Learning how to bring my skill set to the table and being able to identify that as a strength I had was an important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norwood and Washington were also active in mentoring younger students, particularly students of color. \u201cI took a lot of pride in helping provide that additional information that those students needed to navigate through some of those tough classes,\u201d said Norwood.<\/p>\n

Washington liked the diversity of 51ÁÔÆæ. Working for the campus IT department helped him meet people from all over campus, he said. \u201cI was able to meet a lot of people with different backgrounds and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think with the university being in the city and a large university, there were so many things you could be part of,\u201d he added.\u00a0 \u201cWe were busy, but we had the support system of our friends and other students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both found the career development center a great help in doing resumes and getting ready for job fairs. Norwood had an internship at Kohl\u2019s and several full-time job offers before graduation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say from start to finish 51ÁÔÆæ was really supportive of their students and making sure that they succeed,\u201d said Norwood.<\/p>\n

Jezamil Arroyo-Vega, building construction inspector, Milwaukee Department of Neighborhood Services<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arroyo-Vega grew up in Puerto Rico, and enjoyed working with her father, who was a contractor and had his own wood shop. She often accompanied him to building sites. \u201cI studied blueprints back when they were actually blue prints.\u201d<\/p>\n

That started her interest in building and planning, but it was a cooperative program at that time between 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s School of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Inter American University in Puerto Rico that gave her the opportunity to pursue her degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically you studied in the Inter American University for two years, then you transferred to 51ÁÔÆæ to finish your undergrad degree,\u201d said Arroyo-Vega. \u201cI had never been in Milwaukee, but I knew it had a great school of architecture, and it gave me the opportunity to live abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

She recalls arriving with two suitcases and a little bit of savings, but the university community helped her find housing, scholarships and a student job and introduced her to local culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been forever grateful for that opportunity. My life would not have been the same if I\u2019d gone to university locally in Puerto Rico.\u201d<\/p>\n

After earning her undergraduate degree, she worked for two years, then returned to 51ÁÔÆæ for her master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n

The 51ÁÔÆæ program\u2019s focus on community planning, urban neighborhoods and local history led to her interest in working for the city. She worked with the architecture school\u2019s Community Design Solutions, which helps local nonprofits with planning and design. And her studies also focused on Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned to understand its history, the patterns, the neighborhoods. Those years of study made me feel more engaged with the community. That\u2019s how I came to know the city. \u201d<\/p>\n

Her passion became neighborhood development and planning in Milwaukee and in her native Puerto Rico. In past, she worked with the Zilber Neighborhood Initiative and the Local Initiative Support Corporation, helping with neighborhood revitalization projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experiences at 51ÁÔÆæ were eye-opening for me. It helped me re-envision what an architect can be. Being a planner in neighborhood development was very important to her, she said, and that led to her work in neighborhood housing.<\/p>\n

As a building construction inspector, she evaluates structures to make sure they comply with ordinances and works to protect the city\u2019s investment in residential and commercial properties<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a varied career, she said, ranging from inspections of small projects to checking out major developments. \u201cOne moment I\u2019m telling someone how to repair their porch and then next I\u2019m on the 11th<\/sup>floor of the BMO Harris Tower on a ladder checking out the floor decking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicholas Carnahan, partner, Galbraith Carnahan Architects<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nick Carnahan likes an architectural challenge. That\u2019s what led him and his partner, Joe Galbraith, to accept the donation of a 1920s log cabin that stood in the way of a proposed apartment complex. \u00a0In March 2019, the building rolled through Wauwatosa \u2013 from Wauwatosa Avenue to N. 64th Street and W. North Ave.<\/p>\n

The cabin, which was originally built by Erie Railroad President Frederick D. Underwood in 1921, will be used as additional office space for Wauwatosa-based Galbraith Carnahan Architects, according to Carnahan.<\/p>\n

His firm works on a variety of projects, most recently including the transformation of a former storage facility into a mixed-use commercial building on Martin Luther King Drive. In May 2018, one of Carnahan\u2019s designs was recognized by the American Institute of Architects Wisconsin. That Convivium Urban Farmstead project turned a 1920s greenhouse into a community hub for residents in Dubuque, Iowa.<\/p>\n

Carnahan\u2019s interest in architecture started with Legos when he was a child. \u201cI really enjoyed putting things together at home, whether it was a tree fort or a snow fort or whatever. I was always building things. I just kind of gravitated to the profession naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing up in Platteville, when it came time to choose an architecture program, he looked at the University of Minnesota and 51ÁÔÆæ, choosing the Milwaukee campus because of its relatively compact campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a country kid coming to the big city, it was easy to digest. Minnesota was spread out, walking across the river, miles and miles between classes.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 51ÁÔÆæ, he found mentors and future colleagues, many of whom he still sees around Milwaukee. He remembers especially faculty members Jim Shields, Hanno Weber, Gil Snyder and the late Harvey Rabinowitz.<\/p>\n

Of his experience at 51ÁÔÆæ, he says, \u201cIt\u2019s the program that equipped me with the skills I\u2019m using in my career and that I\u2019ve used for the past 18 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
