WELCOME NEW STUDENT MEMBERS

Greetings everyone! On behalf of the LSC-Kingwood

Interior Design Student Chapter, we would like to welcome

all our new student members. Our student chapter

encompasses professional organizations such as the

American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), National

Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), International

Interior Design Association (IIDA), and NEWH-The

Hospitality Industry Network. Our Chapter is dedicated to

promote design excellence and demonstrate the value of

professionalism. We provide opportunities for students to

network with members of the design industry through

monthly guest speakers. At our monthly meetings, held on

the second Tuesday of every month, you will be kept up to

date with the latest trends in design as well as information

about upcoming professional events.

The students at Lone Star

College Kingwood decided

it was time to update their

Student Chapter t-shirt and

had a contest for all the

students to participate in!

The winner of the contest

will have their design

printed on the new batch of

t-shirts. The winner was

Denise Josey. Great job!

DESIGN TIMES

On February 11, 2010 the Congress of clubs

met for its semester meeting. The

organization delegate, Megan Rosenquist

attended and spoke on the behalf of our

organization. At the club she had the

pleasure to hear what was going on in other

organizations of campus. Many of the clubs

were familiar and there were also a few new

ones.

At the meeting there is an overall consensus

that many of the clubs want to get to know

the other clubs and want to socialize and

network amongst each other. Many of the

organizations would also like to work

together and help out with many community

projects. With that statement it was brought

up that maybe a networking and social

meeting should be held. More information

about what is going on campus and clubs is

obtained by attending the Student

Government meetings, but many of the clubs

want a more informal event. The student

government also urged for more student body

and club representation at the Student

Government meetings which are held every

other Thursday (unless campus-wide special

events are scheduled) at 12:30pm in COT

100.

The last topic that was discussed was for

the creation of a student committee that

would collaborate on doing unique things in

the community. It would be a committee

outreach program, that would participate in

town hall meetings and discuss ideas and

programs that would branch into the local

community. This committee is to be

composed of individuals who want to reach

out and connect with the community and

show all the LSC-Kingwood has to offer and

more. The first Student Open Forum

committee meeting will be this Wednesday,

February 16, 2011. It will be held from

1:30pm to 2:30pm. For more information send an email to:

CLUBS OF CONGRESS

GUEST SPEAKERS

Each month our student chapter has the opportunity of being

introduced to talented professionals in the design field. We were

honored to have Diana Walker, former ASID President of the Texas

Gulf Coast, speak to us about her professional experiences and tips

for success including money, leadership, marketing, education, and

employment. Our chapter even participated in a group

demonstration to learn about various aspects of the design business.

One piece of advice that will truly be our guidance will to remember

to "bring a skill to a firm that you can leave behind and leave an

impact".

Our student chapter also had the pleasure of meeting with Valerie

Jones, a commercial and residential designer who owns her own

company Ivory and Aubergine. During her presentation, our

chapter viewed her design portfolio which included pictures of

previous works such as designs of Rockdale High School, and her

current project, San Jacinto College. Valerie Jones was also able to

connect with the chapter on a different level in explaining the

transition from school to the real world.

ASID SHOW HOUSE

Lone Star College –Kingwood is participating in the 2011

ASID Show House benefitting Memorial Hermann

Children’s hospital. This year’s group of student designers

will be creating a unique utility room that is multifunctional

and fits the hill country theme of the model home. The

concept for the space is, “Crystal Clean” and the concept

statement is as follows:

A warm and elegant utility room will be created through the

use of neutral colors and a mixture of metallic elements.

Stainless steel, bronze, and crystal will contribute to the

modernized hill country feel of the home. The functional,

multi-use space will meet the unique needs of each

household member.
