Congratulations to Nyliam Gazze, winner of our 2026 annual intern T-shirt fundraiser!
Each year, CDM Smith interns are challenged to create a T-shirt design that reflects who we are and the work we do. Rooted in our culture of giving back, the winning design benefits a charity chosen by the winning intern.
Nyliam raised more than $7,000 through CDM Smith employee purchases, along with a company match, to support the Friends of Caritas Cuba. The organization provides humanitarian assistance and improves the lives of people facing ongoing challenges in Cuba.
Nyliam, an Architecture Intern in our Maitland, Florida office and a Virginia Tech student, wanted her design to capture CDM Smith's mission through a meaningful concept. “I picked Friends of Caritas Cubana because it has a personal meaning to me. My mom is from Cuba, and my grandma still lives there. The country is currently facing many challenges, so I wanted to have a small impact on improving the lives of the Cuban people,” Nyliam shared.
