Dear Friends of the Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture,

At moments of change, we must renew our hope and look towards the future. Such a change has occurred in the Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at North Dakota State University. Dr. Paul Gleye, our Chairperson for the last decade, has stepped down, and Dr. Ganapathy Mahalingam has stepped in as Interim Chairperson for the department, until a permanent Chairperson is appointed for the department.

We were honored last year with a very high ranking by the Design Intelligence report for our undergraduate program in Architecture. With our conversion to the graduate, professional Master's degree program in architecture, and a new system of evaluation for the Design Intelligence report, we remain a world-class Architecture program with distinction.

Our outstanding professional degree programs in architecture and landscape architecture are housed in Renaissance Hall and Klai Hall in downtown Fargo, which has emerged as a supportive, student-oriented environment. We invite you to explore our programs through our website, and we invite you to visit us. Dr. Ganapathy Mahalingam meets with prospective students and parents on Mondays and Fridays. For an appointment and tour, call the NDSU Admission Office at (701) 231-8643 or (800) 488-NDSU.

In this time of transition and change, we need your support more than ever. Please contribute generously to the betterment of the department and make the dreams of our students and faculty come true.

Looking ahead to the future,

Sincerely,

Dr. Ganapathy Mahalingam
Interim Chair and Architecture Program Director
