Interior design students recently went on their annual field trips, designed to expose students to different design options and as a chance to network with various professionals in the industry.
Sophomores in Assistant Professor William Riehm’s studio traveled to nearby Eupora to visit School of Architecture alumna Belinda Stewart, owner of Belinda Stewart Architects P.A.
Stewart explained her work and talked with students about what it means to be in the design profession.
“She is such a great role model for our students and our alumni,” said Riehm.
