Congratulations, Graduates!

Congratulations to the Class of 2009! From the left in the image above are Garrett Lunsford, Alan Knepp, Matthew Pica, Ryan Keutzer, Matthew Highlander, Garret Lukens, and Assistant Professor Craig Anz. Graduation was held on Saturday, August 8 in Shryock Auditorium.

A reception for the graduates and their families and friends was given in Quigley 119, the new School of Architecture Gallery. Each student displayed work completed for the design thesis portion of the Master of Architecture program. Approximately 52 attended the reception.

The Master of Architecture program at SIUC is a 15-month, 42-credit program designed to be completed by students who have earned a pre-professional degree in architecture. The program begins in June of one year and is complete in August of the following year. Some students choose to spend longer than 15 months on campus completing the program.

For the 2009-2010 school year, 21 students have been admitted to the Master of Architecture program and 12 continuing students are nearing completion of their programs. Thanks to Professor Bob Swenson for the photograph!
