Summer 2024 Directors Message

June 3, 2024

Summer is here and it’s very quiet in the School of Design and Construction and Pullman. As I sit at the computer, I fondly reflect on the whirlwind of activities at the end of the semester – portfolio reviews, advisory board meetings, capstone events, design reviews, and engagement events. These are wonderful opportunities for engagement among students, faculty, alumni, and industry partners that serve as a reminder, that despite the chaos, the rewards of being an educator are visible in every interaction. At this time of year, we also congratulate our graduates and celebrate the many successes of those in the SDC.
