APDesign graduates recognized for achievements in APDPro

Submitted by Thom Jackson

Four graduates in the College of Architecture, Planning & Design, or APDesign, at Kansas State University received APDPro Certification by completing all five years of requirements for APDPro, the college's professional development program.

The following students achieved certification in APDPro during the 2023-2024 academic year:

Emily Hemsath, fifth-year student in landscape architecture; Shelby Thornton, fifth-year student in architecture, Sublette; Libby Couture, fifth-year student in architecture, Fort Collins, Colorado; and Rowan Taylor, fifth-year student in interior architecture, Trimble, Missouri.

More than 500 APDesign students participated in APDPro during the 2023-2024 academic year.

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; diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging efforts; 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.

Learn more about APDPro and its mentor program, or for more information, please contact Danna Voegeli, APDPro coordinator, at apdpro@k-state.edu.
