Chrissy James

A third-year landscape architecture student from Bentonville, Ark., Chrissy James will be studying historic landscapes in Rome, Paris, and sites throughout England this summer, along with 11 other students. Chrissy and a few others have chosen to extend the usual six-week Summer European Studies program with a two-week workshop that will focus on gardens within a series of Roman Renaissance villas, some of them not open to the public.
 
"I've never been to Europe before, and neither have a lot of my classmates. We've been looking forward to this trip for a long time," Chrissy noted. For more on her travels, click on photo.

Jared Hueter

Jared Hueter is a fifth-year architecture student who believes that "architecture is about serving people." To that end Jared cofounded Re:Vision student group, which organized a national conference to coordinate design community response to Hurricane Katrina. That conference launched CITYbuild and numerous design/build projects in the Crescent City.

This spring Jared is in New Orleans, acting as local liaison for the School of Architecture's effort to rebuild Miss Gloria's Kitchen. Famed for serving up grits, eggs, smoked sausage and a biscuit for a buck, Gloria Caulfield’s restaurant has been closed since Katrina flooded the city. Jared and 12 other UA architecture students are determined to get Miss Gloria back in business . . . to read on, click on photo.
