Scholarships Kevin Yee Li New York Chapter Kevin Lee Yi was a 2014 NEWH New York chapter scholarship recipient, which marked the beginning of his involvement with NEWH. Since then, the organization has been a contributing resource for networking, job skills, and exposure to the design industry for Yi. Not only did the scholarship help financially while he was finishing his last year in the MFA program at the New York School of Interior Design, he was also sponsored for a trip to Dallas for the 2015 NEWH Leadership Conference. Through NEWH, Yi has made valuable connections with designers, manufacturers, and owners in the hospitality community. His experiences have helped him get a job at leading New York hospitality design firm Rockwell Group. brown_ad1_center 10/4/15 2:49 PM Page 1 PLANTERS 888-449-4232 | www.asian-ceramics.com 16 www.newh.orghttp://www.asian-ceramics.com
