One of the highlights of my career in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning has been meeting and interacting with many outstanding, well-known architects and visiting critics from all corners of the world.

It has been a joy to welcome our many visitors over all the years, and to assist them and their families with the details of their trip to Ithaca, or in many cases, with their semester or year-long stay here. I have tremendously enjoyed doing all that I could to ensure our guests settled in easily and that their families were comfortable.
