Mary Yoxen Named Winner in Interior Design Competition
Interior design student Mary Yoxen was named the winner in the large commercial project
category at the 2012 International Interior Design Association / American Society
of Interior Designers student competition.
Mary's project is a place for musicians to experiment, practice, perform and connect
with musicians globally through technology. Spaces are arranged as floating objects
within a traditional masonry shell and are connected with pathways and an open stair/elevator.
"This is the second straight year a Marylhurst interior design student has won what
I consider the top prize -- the large commercial category -- and the competition is
only two years old," said Nancy Hiss, director of the interior design program at Marylhurst
University.
The other categories are furniture design, kitchen and bath, residential, emerging
designer and small commercial.
All fourth-year interior design students will be present their thesis projects on
Thursday, June 14, 2012 at St. Mary's Academy in downtown Portland.
Dr. Susan Carter, interim chair of the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies Department, was named vice president of the Pacific Northwest Region of the American Academy of Religion / Society of Biblical Literature in May 2013.
