Last week in this newsletter I advised to “Finish Strong!”. The same message applies to this week as well. The design reviews I witnessed and the exhibitions of studio projects showed some excellent work, inspiring expectations of even better things to come. The spring semester journey is almost at its destination – don’t let up now. Finish strong!
If you are graduating, Congratulations! A job well done. I wish you success and satisfaction in your professional and personal future. Be impactful and be proud.
No matter where the next steps lead, remember the values established through your College of Architecture background: demand excellence, be courageous, practice empathy, look beyond, and inspire impact.
Have a great summer! Do good and be well.
Take care –
Sharon Kuska

Congratulations on completing your studio/thesis reviews last week. We had three days of thought-provoking conversations prompted by your work. I thought each studio and student project brought a new and refreshing perspective on the future of architecture.
As we reflect on the spring semester, the program shared insights on the M.Arch program, focusing on the design studio, professional electives and design thesis. Next, I want to acknowledge and thank all our faculty for their dedication and investment in teaching. They have shown us how to be agile and creatively reinvigorate the studio culture through making. The program owes special acknowledgment to the teaching faculty for their continued efforts and leadership in teaching, research and creative activity. More-

Another exciting year has come to a close and the summer awaits. Many of you will be pursuing internships and some may have travel on the horizon. One thing I would like you to keep in mind as you participate in all these things, is learning never stops. Your studies have hopefully opened your eyes to the wide range of issues facing the profession of landscape architecture. Our mission statement points to ecology, heritage, diversity and equity as essential considerations in the creation of sustainable landscapes. Issues of spatial justice, ecological improvement, community building, cultural landscapes have been introduced to you in one way or another in your studies this year, along with design strategies to address these important concerns.

Congratulations to all on completing yet another academic year! When we reflect on all the students, faculty and staff we have engaged with to learn and enhance our academic experiences; all the projects and assignments we have completed and reviewed, the new knowledge and skills we have taught, learned and refined; the new ideas and solutions regarding improving conditions for people through the design of the interior built environment; the various challenges we have found solutions for together; and the forward movement we all are making as individuals, as a program, and a college…I think we should all feel quite accomplished.
Our courses have integrated the engagement of interior design professionals in Atlanta, Fayetteville, Chicago, New Orleans, Holland, Michigan, and Rome Italy!!! More-

Congratulations to the following graduates: Mohamed Alnour Gibriel, Jennifer Hiatt, Ryan Kendall, Chelsey Jean Pounds and Jacob Ryan Schlange! Best wishes for your career development in the future!
During this spring semester, the instructors made excellent work to enrich student learning in each course. The faculty members conduct active creative research activities and community services in healthy planning, environmental planning, historical preservation, hazard mitigation and community development. Stephanie Kuenning’s team is always so efficient and helpful to answer student questions from the recruitment, retention, to student success. Cameron Andreesen and Kerry McCullough-Vondrak actively connect to our alumni, partners and stakeholders to support the CRP program development. Thanks for all your tenacity and excellent work during this semester!
Have a great summer!
