 Message from the Department Head

The Scholarship Reception was a success on Friday night, the venue at the Sunset Zoo encouraged mingling and the interactions of the students/scholarship recipients with donors and the Dean's Advisory Council good to see. I am always struck by the generous spirit of our donors and the satisfaction those who are able to attend derive from talking with the recipients of their generosity and forethought. This week we have two superb presentations, which I hope everyone will attend. Perry Kulper and Larry King will each be here mid-week (see the information to the right). Have a great week!News and Events

Perry Kulper is our Bryant Lecture (see the image above), and will occur on Wednesday, September 11 in the Little Theater in the Union beginning at 4:00. It will most likely go until 5:15 or so as he has much to share with us. The title of his presentation is "Behind the Scenes."

Larry King will present "Office Buildings of the Future" on Thursday September 12 beginning at 4:30 in the Pierce Commons. Larry is a principal of IA Interior Architects and is located in the Denver office.
