OPPORTUNITIES RESOURCES AWARDS & HONORS JOBS & INTERNSHIPS RESEARCH & CREATIVE

Despite the snow and the broken pipe at APD West we are off and running on our new semester! We are excited for all that Spring semester will have to offer. Enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats to Caleb Amundson for winning the 2015 Steelcase NEXT competition! Using the concept of a forge and hearth, Caleb was honored for focusing his design concept on how occupants of his space can take raw business and project ideas, refine them, and then refuel before starting the cycle over again and for recognizing the strength in fostering collaboration to ignite ideas that aren't possible in isolation. Great job, Caleb!

You may recognize the 2015 winner (Caleb) and the 2014 winner (Emma Montgomery)!

KUDOS

Congrats to Alex Marschman for being selected as one of only four 2016 Gensler Brinkmann Scholarship finalists! Best of luck to you, Alex!
