Unfinished Business! Mark Engelbrecht

Wednesday, 15 Apr 2009 at 7:00 pm – Kocimski Auditorium, College of Design

After fifteen years as Dean of the College of Design, Mark Engelbrecht will step down from his post in June 2009. He will reflect on his fifty-year relationship with Iowa State University - beginning when he was a student in the 1960s and continuing through his years as a faculty member and his recent service as dean. He will point out changes and progress made in design education during that time and offer some thoughts on his future and the future of the college. Engelbrecht earned his bachelor of architecture degree from Iowa State in 1963.
