ANNOUNCEMENTS

APDesign Fellow Ray Willis, MRCP '71, will speak in Seaton 106c next Thursday, April 17, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. Please plan to attend.

A big thank you to Huston Gibson, Casey Gorrell, Larry Lawhon, Lee Skabelund, Jessica Weber and all of the SCASLA and SPA members for their fantastic leadership during Open House! They did a great job of showing the best of LARCP.

SPA and SCASLA are setting up a booth for EcoFest at the upcoming two-day event, April 25, 10:30 am - 4 pm and April 26, 1 pm - 6 pm. This is an opportunity to spread the word on low impact development, storm water management/conservation, and to see what efforts other environmentally-minded student groups on campus have been involved in. Click here to sign-up.

A preliminary meeting will be held Thursday, April 17, 7:30-8:30 pm in Seaton Hall 106c to gauge interest in a 3-credit study abroad focused on Kyoto, Japan (with some time in Osaka & Tokyo), proposed for May 14-30, 2015.

During the stay in Japan, students will have experiences in the cities of Osaka and Tokyo (two of the world’s largest metropolitan areas) and immersive time in Kyoto (the cultural capital of Japan). Attendees will visit several Japanese temples and gardens, and learn about Japanese art, architecture, garden design, urban planning/design & urban agriculture. The group will travel via train through some of Japan’s agricultural countryside, and take walking and/or bike tours of parts of Kyoto. Please contact Lee Skabelund if you have any questions.
