2020-21 Recipient:
My name is Matthew Robinson, I was born and raised in Bellingham Washington and I am 22 years old. Growing up I spent my time running around in the forests of Chuckanut Mountain and playing wiffle-ball with my neighbors during the beautiful Northwest summers. I still enjoy being outside, taking advantage of the vast assortment of trails and parks in both Washington and Oregon whenever I can. I attended Sehome High School where I played both basketball and baseball before making the decision to go to college at the University of Oregon in Eugene. I am currently entering the fifth year of my Bachelors of Architecture education, with a Minor in Landscape Architecture. I enjoy traveling, listening to music, hiking, spending time with family and friends, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.
