We have an incredible and accomplished group of people on our Professional Advisory Council (PAC) and during their visit this most recent Thursday and Friday, we once again gained from their friendship and support. As we prepare emerging professionals in each of our disciplines, the insight and observations from those who are at the highest levels of practice around the country and world make a significant impact, and one that is most appreciated! Have a great week!
Best regards,
Kathy

Catherine De Almeida has received an EPA sub-award through the City of Gering, Nebraska, to fund the LARC 310 studio, which is focused on brownfield redevelopment. Last weekend, the studio went to Gering and Scottsbluff to familiarize themselves with the site's context, visit and document the site and meet with community partners and stakeholders. Mike Sarchet, one of several stakeholders who has been a leader in brownfield redevelopment throughout the tri-city area for over a decade, hosted the group by giving tours and ending the visit with a cookout at his ranch.

Big shout out this week to Assistant Professor Nate Bicak for getting published in the
Journal of Interior Design. In collaboration with Radford colleagues, Bicak wrote about the process of a design studio to design and build portable homeless shelters, which heavily relied on information gathering and informed design decision making related to homelessness. The design/build process encouraged students to prototype and test the feasibility and realistic needs associated with homelessness and being displaced. The work is truly inspiring and I would recommend that all of you take a look into this paper. It can be found on the online Wiley, Journal of Interior Design, website.
