ARCHITECTURAL WORK OF 96 K-STATE STUDENTS ON DISPLAY IN EAST WING OF SEATON HALL

MANHATTAN -- The architectural work of 96 Kansas State University students from the College of Architecture, Planning and Design who recently studied abroad is on display through Oct. 9 in the Chang Gallery and first floor hallway of Seaton Hall's east wing. The exhibition is free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

Students in the college are given the option of studying abroad during and following their fourth year.

Lynn Ewanow, associate dean and director of international programs for the College of Architecture, Planning and Design, said that study abroad programs benefit students in architecture's various disciplines because unfamiliar environments heighten cultural and historical awareness, improve self-reliance, encourage better understanding of global economics, politics and societies, and broaden their professional horizons.

Faculty on the college's international studies committee include Ewanow; Ray Streeter, architecture; Neal Hubbell, interior architecture and product design; and Tony Chelz, landscape architecture and regional and community planning.

The study-abroad locations included Czech Tech and Prague Summer Seminars/University of New Orleans, both in Prague, Czech Republic; Denmark International Study Program, Copenhagen, Denmark; The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment, London, England; University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, England; Dessau International Architecture Graduate School at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Dessau, Germany; American College of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece; Marchutz School of Drawing and Painting, Aix en Provence, France; Academic Programs International, Galway, Ireland; Italart Centro Studi Santa Chiara, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy; Academic Programs International, Lorenzo de Medici, Florence, Italy; and Centro Studi Citta di Orvieto, Orvieto, Italy.
