STARKVILLE, Miss.ā€”Mississippi State interior design students received 58 of approximately 85 possible awards at the 2019 American Society of Interior Designers South Central Design Summit this spring.Ā 

Ļć½¶Ö±²„Professor Beth Miller, interior design program director, credits the groupā€™s success to its involvement in a wide range of project types and faculty guidance on studio projects. MSUā€™s interior design program also offers a number of courses, including furniture design, computer skills, hand rendering, and lighting that other similar programs do not include.

ā€œFor the past few years, the Ļć½¶Ö±²„interior design program has dominated the competition, and we hope to continue the tradition,ā€ Miller said. ā€œI think it is evident that student work from Ļć½¶Ö±²„is high quality and competitive.ā€
