THE APDESIGN/AFGHANISTAN CONNECTION
Our college has the unique accomplishment of educating the next generation of Afghan architectural educators at Kabul University, Kabul, Afghanistan.
Four Afghan faculty members recently received their Master of Science in Architecture degrees from Kansas State and are now teaching a revised architectural curriculum in Kabul.
Architecture Professor Donald Watts joined more than one hundred former Peace Corps Volunteers who had served in Afghanistan as part of the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Peace Corps in Washington D.C. He represented our College at a special reception for former Peace Corps Afghanistan volunteers hosted by His Excellency, Ambassador Eklil Hakimi at the Afghan Embassy in D.C.
Watts served as the architectural coordinator of the Kansas State University/Kabul University Partnership Program occurring between 2007 and 2010.
