APDesign students complete another successful year of APDPro
One hundred twenty-six students in the College of Architecture, Planning & Design, or APDesign, at Kansas State University completed the 2017-2018 requirements for APDPro, the college's professional development program.
Three graduates also were recognized for APDPro certification by completing all five years of APDPro requirements at the college's commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 12, in McCain Auditorium: Ashley Brunton, fifth-year student in architecture, North Mankato, Minnesota; Caroline Finck, fifth-year student in Landscape Architecture, Mexico, Missouri; and Margaret Brennan, fifth-year student in architecture, St. Louis, Missouri.
The mission of APDPro is to enrich students' experience in APDesign and provide a competitive advantage as they transition to the workplace. The programs offered through APDPro help students develop the career skills employers are looking for via workshops, lectures, seminars, professional mentoring and networking opportunities. Students receive a notation on their transcript for each year they complete the program requirements and become certified in APDPro if they complete the requirements all five years of the program.
Nearly 500 students participated in the program during the 2017-2018 academic year, attending events and workshops on professional communication, portfolio basics, interviewing and more. APDPro began in the fall of 2013.
