Faculty & Staff Updates

Teaching Assistant Professor Susan Atkinson received the Art + Science + Action grant ($1,000) sponsored by the CU ��«��Ƶ Office for Outreach and Engagement and the ��«��Ƶ County Arts Alliance. The grant funds ENVD student time and materials to produce posters for an exhibition of ENVD student work, along with travel expenses for recent ENVD grads to publicly present the work of our studio.

This fall, ENVD students and Atkinson received an invitation to attend a statewide conference to represent ENVD at the CCI Leadership Summit in Salida, Colorado. Students will help share the process and products of their spring 2022 ARCH 4100 Capstone Studio, an interdisciplinary collaboration between ENVD architecture seniors, a Denver-based theater company, and Globeville/Elyria-Swansea neighborhood partners.
