Since 1931, the Bronze Alpha Rho Chi Medal has recognized graduating architecture students for their leadership and service and what they offer the future of the profession. Judged by the faculty of each school, the medal honors the graduating student who has shown an ability for leadership, performed willing service for his or her school or department, and gives promise of real professional merit through their attitude and personality.

Alpha Rho Chi believes strong leaders are just as essential as strong designers. The Bronze Medal program was established to recognize qualities not necessarily pertaining to studio and scholarship. 

Each accredited institution of architecture in the United States and Canada may award the Bronze Medal to one (1) graduating student each year. 

At Carnegie Mellon Architecture, one (1) graduate from either the Bachelor of Architecture program or the Master of Architecture program is eligible to receive this award each year. The winner is announced at the annual diploma ceremony.
