Geremiah Tallas is a first-year architecture student at San Antonio College on the path to transfer to Cornell University. Prior to his architectural endeavors, he served in the U.S. Army for five years as a combat medic. Although he considers his experience in the army little to do with architecture, it shifted his perspective to see the world through a multicultural lens. It allowed him to experience the importance of diversity and sharing his Native American heritage. He wishes to bring this understanding into his own approach of architecture.

Geremiah’s scholarship is supported by Safdie Architects.
