APDesign 2015 Alumni Fellow John Norris
will be with us this Wednesday through Friday. Please plan to attend his presentation on Thursday, April 16, 2:30-3:30 pm, Seaton 106c.
There will be a Meadow work day, April 25, from 10 am-noon, for planting of plugs. Contact Richard Prudenti for more information at prudenti@k-state.edu.
A few notes from Stephanie:
The LARCP team did a great job at K-State Open House last Saturday! BoxHattan resulted in the highest density city we seen yet (that means lots of little builders) and the Campus Creek model and videos were a hit. Special thanks to those who hosted our guests: Conner Bruns, Abby Fiala, Caroline Finck, Joe Foster, Rachel Fox, Alicia Hunter, Tim Kellams, Evan Lanning, Amelia Lewis, Doug Maynard, Richard Prudenti, Taylor Ricketts, Huston Gibson and Katie Kingery-Page (I hope I didn't forget anyone!) and to all the members of SCASLA and SPA who helped set up the exhibits. The Move. Watch for announcement of student meetings in early May to talk about our plans for moving out of Seaton east to make way for construction of the new APDesign building. We'll meet by discipline. The faculty and I will bring information about next year and we'll have plenty of time for questions and discussion. The DesignIntelligence student survey has been released--The greatest impact on our landscape architecture program rankings is the number of surveys that professionals complete identifying K-State as a top program. Our landscape architecture student can play an important part in that process in two ways: 1. Urging your internship and future employers to complete the DesignIntelligence firm survey when it comes out in mid-May. 2. Completing the DesignIntelligence student survey now. Go here to take the survey. Your response is completely anonymous. While it does not impact the rankings directly, the information that DI publishes about our students has a big influence on how firms perceive us and, in turn, fill out their survey that establishes the rankings. We want our rankings to reflect the excellent work that you do. Please help us get the word out!
