"I often tell people how much my education at Auburn in the CADC was outstanding and would serve any student well no matter what industry he or she aspired to enter. My time at Auburn was memorable for so many reasons, most of which have to do with how my architectural education prepared me to be resourceful, innovative, and persistent in response to any challenges and opportunities that come my way. Each of my professors taught me invaluable lessons about everything from the beauty of being intellectual to the necessity for practical application of concepts that enhance people’s lives."
