Projects by student participants in the spring and summer 2009 academic internship programs of the Kansas State University College of Architecture, Planning, and Design will be on display from October 12-30, 2009, in the Chang Gallery of Seaton Hall. The exhibition is open to the public without charge. Hours of the Chang Gallery are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays.

At varying points in their academic curricula, graduate and undergraduate students majoring in architecture, interior architecture and product design, and landscape architecture can opt to participate in paid internships with professional offices across the United States and around the world. Through these internship programs, students directly experience the world of professional practice before returning to K-State for their final year of study toward achieving masters’ degrees. The academic internship experience acquaints students with some of the expectations and working environments of their professions and provides them the occasion to test their early notions about career choices in a variety of professional and geographic settings.
