Dean's Message,
It was a pleasure to meet alumni at our event while in Orlando for the AIA Conference! At least 3 of our alumni were awarded Fellow status in the AIA this year, which is an important accomplishment and honor. 

Congratulations to each of our graduates (soon to become our alumni!). We wish for you a productive and impactful career, and know you will make us proud!

Finally, thank you for making my first year as Dean of this wonderful college such a pleasure to serve. Your activities and accomplishments have given me so much to highlight to our alumni, the university, and the public; and undoubtedly elevated perceptions of each of our programs and professions!!
Best,
Kathy

Reviews were a great success last week! I always enjoy the intellectual and creative intensity of final reviews, especially in the spring when many students are graduating. The energy of students, the insightful perspectives of guest critics, and the dedicated work of faculty and staff made this a great end to the semester and the year. A special thanks to our critics and the staff for going out of their way to make this a wonderful end to the semester.
