Three Taubman College alumni have been elevated to the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) College of Fellows (FAIA). The highest level of membership in the AIA, the College of Fellows honors architects for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society. Only members who have made significant advancements to the profession and exemplify architectural excellence can become a Fellow, a distinction shared by less than 3% of members.
Deborah Finkelstein Moeilis, B.S ’93, Suzanne Klein, M.Arch ’90, and Kimberly Montague, B.S. Architecture ’87, M.Arch ’89 were among the 83 architects selected for the 2025 group.
