Agenda
1. Welcome, Attila Lawrence
a. The positive changes in progress constitute realignments in our school and reflect the evolving character of the school in response to UNLV initiatives and changing societal demands made on professional education. These changes will bring additional professional depth and experience to us and will help to further position our school for continued growth in providing high quality professional educational experiences. The School of Architecture continues to be an important resource for the professional community and with the new Downtown Design Center, the region as a whole.
