Coordination Tasks
Coordinated the Advanced Design Studio (ADS) sequence of courses
and the professional practice and management courses, recruiting,
admissions, advising, recommendations on faculty hiring, review of
curriculum issues, and program development. The number of ADS
sections increased from the previous three to five including two online
design studios, our first and probably the first in the nation (as described
below).
Revised the syllabus for the five ADS sections, incorporated the Writing
Committee’s recommendations for student writing standards into the
standard ADS course syllabus, coordinated midterm and final reviews,
devised review schedules, and coordinated the invitations of guest
critics. I worked with the section instructors to establish standards for
student work in the studios and assisted the two new adjunct instructors,
Mark Farlow and John Abel, in their understanding and implementation
of the course so that it reflected the on campus version of ADS and
maintained or increased the existing standards.
Designed and distributed small posters publicizing the end-of-semester
graduate reviews. These were posted around the school and distributed
online by email and the weekly CoAD News
Online Graduate Design Studio Planning Group
Participated with Glen LeRoy, Ed Orlowski, Paul Goldsmith, Richard
Bush, and Ralph Nelson in the planning for our first online graduate
design studios. We ultimately engaged Mark Farlow and John Abela to
teach the online ADS courses. We also moved, in the spring of 2011, to
offer Architectural Design 7 (AD 7) online, as this course was frequently
needed by incoming online students. Summer 2010
Evaluation of Adjunct Instructors
Solicited and completed evaluation documents for adjunct instructors of
the professional practice and management courses, the Advanced
Design Studio, and for AD 7.
Graduate Student Advising
Advised over 100 graduate advisees (Concentration in Design and
Practice) I engaged in frequent informal counseling conversations with
undergraduate students.

Secretary, Board of Directors, fall 2004 to 2011
Founding Member, 2004
The hope for a greenway in downtown Ann Arbor was revived in 2004
with expressions of interest on the part of key figures in the development
community, the Department of Parks and Recreation, regional land
trusts, and the public. We incorporated the group in the State of
Michigan in September 2005 as the Allen Creek Greenway
Conservancy. We have been granted 501.3.c status under federal law
and have created a proposed route for the Greenway. The ACGC has
sponsored and cooperated with several studies of the Greenway. The
economics of the Greenway were examined, several years ago, by
graduate students at the University of Michigan Ross School of
Business. This fall, a group of graduate students in the Urban and
Regional Planning Program at the University of Michigan will develop
and propose a master plan for the Greenway.
Currently, I am working with my ACGC colleague, Joe O’Neal, to advise
inForm Architects on their draft proposal for the “SkyTrail” project, a
bridge crossing North Main Street in Ann Arbor. The propose bridge
would connect the Allen Creek Greenway with existing trails along the
Huron River.
Urban Design Advocates
Ann Arbor, Michigan, 2000-2002
UDA, an ad hoc urban design action group, prepared a “Greater
Downtown Ann Arbor Urban Design Principles and Checklist” as a guide
for citizens, developers, and civic officials in March 2000. We also met
with the Democratic (majority) caucus of the Ann Arbor City Council to
promote a thoughtful approach to the proposed expansion of City Hall.
In 2002, we developed a “Prospectus for an Ann Arbor Downtown
Greenway” which also addressed storm water issues associated with
Allen’s Creek.
Property Planning Committee / Huron Valley Girl Scout Council
Ann Arbor, Michigan, Fall 2001-Spring 2002
The Property Planning Committee was appointed by the HVGSC Board
to study and prepare a set of recommendations for the development of
the Council’s three camps over the next 20 years. We prepared a report
outlining options for the Council.
