Welcome to 2020 in the College of Architecture! This spring semester we should see abundant productivity in Architecture Hall. In February, the Interior Design Program will experience an accreditation visit by CIDA (the Council for Interior Design Accreditation); keep an eye out for meetings as we continue working with APMA on improving our building; work hard and become involved - there are plentiful opportunities, and it is rewarding in so many ways. Check out the events listed in this newsletter and on the web.
Welcome to David Karle as he takes on the role of Interim Architecture Program Director, we are looking forward to his leadership of this exceptional program!
Best- Kathy Ankerson

Welcome back to spring semester and your first experience as a student in a new decade! We have a lot of great events this spring including our CIDA Accreditation Visit and Review (February 8th-11th), Career Fair (February 20th-21st), Scholarship and Awards celebration (April 17th), and of course graduation.
Please keep engaged with the weekly newsletters to stay informed about deadlines, events and opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities. On January 29th from 12-1, I will be hosting a “CIDA Visit: Lunch & Learn” for all second, third and fourth year interior design students. Pizza will be provided. This will be a great time to review our program’s overall curriculum and understanding the role and procedures of accreditation visits and curricular review. This will be held in the gallery.

Welcome back! The spring semester is upon us. I always find it interesting that the spring semester starts and spends half of its time in the winter. This winter however has been more normal compared to last year, with snow only an occasional participant instead of a constant presence. As someone who was able to walk across a frozen Holmes Lake last winter, I hope this will never happen again. We all, of course, need to learn how to be resilient and design for resilience in the face of events and circumstances. Resilience however is not about returning to the exact same place or situation as before. It is also about evolving with changing conditions. As you all return after the fall semester, you are no longer the same person you were at the start of the fall semester. Many of you have experienced great success. Some of you may have experienced some setbacks. In both cases, I hope you learned something from the experience and are better prepared for the next semester, more resilient for what is to come.

Welcome back. Thank you to all the students, faculty, administrators and staff that made 2019 a great year. This semester we have great studio and seminar options in the Architecture Program. I hope you will discuss these options with your academic advisor and peers. We have a strong diversity of voices in the program, and I hope you will participate and observe the various ways of thinking, making and designing throughout the semester. I especially want to extend my appreciation to all the lecture/lecture(T) faculty teaching in the Architecture Program. These faculty bring a range of expertise to their courses which in turn elevates the entire program.
