On Sat., Feb. 17, the Ҵýapp held Academic Insight, an annual event for admitted Ҵýapp students and their guests.
The event is meant to help students get a better understanding of the programs within the college and is a chance for students to meet other incoming students, current students and professors.
After a department fair, students and their guests had a chance to mingle with current students and faculty over breakfast before Dean Jim West presented an overview of the college.
After the presentation, the group split up into the four college units – architecture, art, interior design and building construction science – and went to those facilities for a “breakout session.”
During the sessions, parents had a chance to meet with the program directors and faculty while students worked on an activity meant to give them a glimpse into their program.
Students interested in architecture worked with Assistant Clinical Professor Justin Taylor along with alumna Megan Vansant and current architecture student volunteers on a project using “giant Legos.” Students also toured the facilities in Giles Hall and had a chance to ask questions.
