This week, hear from Lamarr Patterson, a current CSM student studying construction management:
"Who am I? I am an artist who tells his life story through art.
My mother recently showed me a picture of my 2-year-old self, drawing, surrounded by crayons and paper. Ever since then, I have wanted to be an architect, urban planner, interior designer, and a fashion designer, which is why I’m studying Construction Management—it encompasses all the things I look forward to becoming and exploring."
