Ashley Kiecker, a senior in Bemidji State University’s art and design program, has won the 2016 MG Exhibit Design Excellence Undergraduate Scholarship. Kiecker was selected based on projects included in a design portfolio as well as a brief written essay on the skills she believes are most important for being a successful designer.<\/p>\n

“From my experience in the exhibit industry, I think that the most important skills for the design process are passion, dedication and teamwork,” Kiecker said in her application. “The success of a design cannot be present without bottomless passion, countless hours of dedication and the endless willpower of a team behind the idea.”<\/p>\n

As the recipient of the scholarship, Kiecker was recognized at EXHIBITORLIVE 2016: The 28th Annual Training Conference for Trade Show Exhibit and Event Managers and Marketers, Feb. 28-March 3 in Las Vegas. She also received travel expenses paid for attending the conference<\/p>\n
