The Interior Design Advisory Council’s members are practicing professionals and alumni who provide support to the department. Through the council’s guidance and networking, students are able to gain critical professional connections, so they can build experience, broaden their understanding of the field and begin their career after graduation.

Goals of the Interior Design Advisory Council:

  • Act as an advisory board to the Interior Design program
  • Assist in securing professional contacts between the students and professionals
  • Promote the activities of Brenau’s Interior Design Department
