Date:09.15.2008 — 10.10.2008
Time:All Day Event
Location:Chang Gallery and First Floor East Wing, Seaton Hall
Projects by student participants in the spring and summer 2008 Study Abroad programs of Kansas State University and the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design will be on display from September 15-October 10 in the Chang Gallery and the first floor hallway of the east wing of Seaton Hall. The exhibition is open to the public without charge.  Hours of the Chang Gallery are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays.

Students in the college’s degree-granting programs are given the option of participating in study abroad during and following their fourth year. During the spring and summer of 2008, 74 students in the college chose to study abroad. Of the student participants, 60 (51 percent of the fifth-year class) are fifth-year students, 11 are now third- or fourth-year students in the interior architecture and product design program, and 3 are fourth-year students in the regional and community planning program, the first time students in that program have been able to participate in study abroad.

According to Lynn Ewanow, associate dean and director of international programs for the College of Architecture, Planning and Design, participation in study abroad programs benefits students in all majors, but students of architecture, interior architecture and product design, landscape architecture, and regional and community planning are particularly well served through the experience of studying in unfamiliar environments as it heightens cultural and historical awareness; improves self-reliance; encourages better understanding of global economics, politics, and societies; and broadens professional horizons. She says, “The College of Architecture, Planning, and Design is committed to enhancing the study abroad experience for its students and supporting the emphasis on international education which is part of the K-State strategic plan.”

Student coordinators of the various components of the exhibit are Tim Sherman, Coburg, Germany; Tim Siemons and Heather Wise, Czech Republic; Katie Gall, Denmark; Erica Besler, Florence, Italy; Rachel Allen, Glasgow, Scotland; Michael Knapp, Julianne Rader and Adam Wagoner, Orvieto, Italy; Krista Coen, Joshua Conrad and LeCretia Morrison, Santa Chiara, Italy; Ellen Mosely, Summer Programs; and Amy Rusche, Viterbo, Italy.
