FROM PHD, TO INTERIOR DESIGN PROFESSOR + NOW TO DEAN OF THE UIDAHO COLLEGE OF ART & ARCHITECTURE W/ SHAUNA CORRY
This chat is a very special one for me. We have the pleasure to hear from one of my former interior design professors and mentors from the University of Idaho, Dr. and Dean, Shauna Corry!
-
She share with us how after finishing her interior design degree at Utah State, what started as teaching one class after being asked to do so from her colleague, led to pursuing a terminal degree in Interior Design, and following a few years of teaching, she was paid to begin her PHD, these were just pieces of Shauna's journey that led her to becoming the Dean of the College of Art & Architecture at the University of Idaho @uidaho ! Shauna is a kind hearted human, who cares deeply about her students and has so much wisdom to offer!
-
Another thing she shares with us what she hopes emerging designers know as they navigate during this pandemic!
-
"Instead of causing fear, I think it's really helping them gain control and get an understanding of their inner strength... you all are going to do very well."
-
Tune in to the end of our chat to hear Shauna's experience as the dean these past six months and what the college is doing to address diversity, inclusion and Black Lives Matter. Along with what changes are being made to evolve and enhance the curriculum and "tangibly making things happen."
