Assistant Professor Cyndi Parker's students were recently able to see first-hand the construction of a new house in its rough-in phase. This is especially valuable because our freshmen Interior Design students have been learning how to read and draw floor plans throughout the semester and a construction site visit like this allows them to see the real-world application of what they are putting on paper!
Students are being introduced to the process of felting using wool fibers, water, and friction in Assistant Professor Fulton's Textiles for Interiors course.
I chose CAAD at MSU because I’ve wanted to work as an interior designer ever since I was young! I had taken a few architecture courses in high school, which made me put more thought into my decision. However, as soon as I toured the interior design program here, I knew this was what I was supposed to do, and have loved it ever since!
After I toured MSU I knew it was home. There is so much SEC passion, and the people here are so kind.
My favorite spot on campus is wherever the tailgating is on game days!
Don't be nervous to get involved. Making connections is so important.
Books; I LOVE to read! I also love being outside and getting sun.
I was originally going to major in computer science, but I decided to change my major to interior design the day I was making my schedule, and it's been a dream since.
The Dawg House. It's a great place to work on homework and study between classes.
College is not near as hard as high school!!
Change Your Life. Change The World.
Three students majoring in interior design at Mississippi State University were recently honored with the Hospitality Industry Network, or NEWH, scholarships.
Junior Evelyn R. Fioranelli of Cleveland, senior Gina H. Novello of Jackson, New Jersey, and senior Gabriella M. Sutherland of Jackson were among 10 recipients honored by the Sunshine Chapter this year, which includes central Florida and Mississippi.
The built environment has always been important to me, as well as being able to pursue interdisciplinary approaches in design. The program CAAD offered allowed me to experience both traditional and contemporary design practices, in addition to offering a very challenging studio environment that I knew would push me to be the best I could be—both in individual projects, as well as collaborative ones.
