Unfortunately, because of the start of the pandemic in 2020, one of the college’s most well-attended student shindigs had to be moved online. Due to this, the students graduating from the Interior Design Bachelor of Applied Arts program did not get to properly showcase the culmination of four years of work. To honor those students, please visit their capstones. The students not only show their sketches and designs, but also reflect on why such creations matter to them. We will include the 2021 showcases in the Fall 2021 Making Learning Visible event.
View the 2020 Senior showcases.
