Class Updates
3rd Year - We went to Dallas and had a great time touring firms and showrooms. We met a number of Dallas IAPD alumni who gave us tours and presentations. We also got a big dose of Texas culture when we went to the Texas state fair! We got to know each other as well as our professors so much more which was great; importantly, we also survived a micro-burst with 80-90 mph winds.
4th Year - Many students from the class took advantage of the opportunity to visit Chicago and Grand Rapids where they visited a number of firms. The opportunity was a great transition into their next project. Read More...
5th Year - Vibha's fifth year visited the Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln NE where they received a tour and interviewed a small panel of treatment staff. This experience will help deepen their knowledge for their semester-long project.
