Mississippi State interior design students received 58 of approximately 85 possible awards at the 2019 American Society of Interior Designers South Central Design Summit this spring.
ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝app Professor Beth Miller, interior design program director, credits the group’s success to its involvement in a wide range of project types and faculty guidance on studio projects. ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝app’s interior design program also offers a number of courses, including furniture design, computer skills, hand rendering, and lighting that other similar programs do not include.
“For the past few years, the ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝app interior design program has dominated the competition, and we hope to continue the tradition,” Miller said. “I think it is evident that student work from ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝app is high quality and competitive.”
The ASID student competition drew representatives from higher education institutions throughout Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
