STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State Associate Professor Alexis Gregory will serve a three-year term as a director on the National Architectural Accrediting Board, the only accrediting institution of architecture degrees in the U.S.
Gregory, who has taught in MSU’s School of Architecture within the College of Architecture, Art and Design since 2011, is one of three new directors elected earlier this year to the 13-member board.
“I am humbled to be one of the academics and licensed architects on the board,” Gregory said. “NAAB is an important organization that works to maintain educational standards for architecture programs that prepare students for professional licensure. It is an honor to serve on the board, and I am looking forward to learning more about the accreditation process and the organization.”
Gregory earned her Bachelor of Architecture degree from Virginia Tech and also holds a Master of Science in architecture with a concentration in women’s studies and history from Clemson University. After earning her architecture license in Virginia, she worked for 10 years in various architecture firms in Washington, D.C. Her teaching and research interests include empathy and ethics in architecture, community engagement and service-learning, community design and diversity in architecture.
MSU’s School of Architecture offers the state’s only professional architecture degree accredited by NAAB. Learn more at www.caad.msstate.edu/.
