Justyna Palka Design

I am pleased to inform you that another outstanding Visual Communication student from SAIC has been nominated for the Justyna Scholarship award.
Enclosed is 2025-26 Justyna Palka Memorial Scholarship Report, featuring Megan Sim (BFA 2026) , whose creative journey has been supported by our generosity. This year, our philanthropy supported Megan as she developed her voice, expanded her practice, and prepared for a meaningful, lasting design career.

After almost eleven months — since the statue was stolen in early January and later recovered — it has now been carefully restored and shines once again in its former glory.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who helped preserve the memory of Justyna. 💛

My love, I think about you all the time and I try to keep my thoughts in check. Today it's been 13 years since you left us. My heart is still pounding. I'm trying to live and do a lot of projects. Your nieces have grown into beautiful teenagers, and your nephew is simply amazing. How much fun you would have playing with him. I have a bedspread with me that I gave you on your 18th birthday. Selected photos from your childhood. You were special. Looking at the photos brings back snapshots of those years. Happy and carefree. Today I smile at these memories. And I can't even imagine what happy days you would prepare for us today. I miss you so much. I will always love you.❤️
