Courtney  Mackrell speaks with Bryan D. Orthel, Ph.D., NCIDQ, NCARB, Associate  Professor of Interior Design at Indiana University Bloomington, Chair of  the Board of Directors for the Journal of Interior Design, and  President of the INTERIOR DESIGN EDUCATORS COUNCIL FOUNDATION INC. Hear  Bryan talk about the journey from student to faculty within design and  how mentorship at all levels is crucial to helping future faculty grow  into their potential.  To this end, IDECF supports graduate students  specifically through the Graduate Scholars Awards given each year to  send students to the annual IDEC National Conference as well as other  mentorship opportunities. The deadline for the 2022 Graduate Scholar  Awards is December 10, 2021, and more information can be found here: https://lnkd.in/dGs4mNbm

We at A Student's Perspective are thrilled to have Bryan join us for this conversation.
