Drexel Design Research and CIRD

Very excited to announce this article in the Bangor Daily Mail about our Graduate DSRE Practicum class’s project with Citizens Institute of Rural Design in Van Buren Maine: https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/05/03/aroostook/aroostook-culture/van-buren-maine-drexel-university-westphal-college-historical-art-project/

Many thanks to our amazing instructor Scott Schmidt who has brought this offering to the DSRE students, and to the Town Manager Luke Dyer (who some of you met when he was here a few weeks ago) who is a force for positive change and development in his community!

Thanks also to the students who are participating in this immersive learning experience which includes interviews, focus groups, and deep dives into the Town and the culture. Excited to see where the students and class go with it!
