Welcome to Week 1 of Professional Practice!

Although we will not be meeting online in ZOOM for our first class (4th of July), there are items online for you to complete prior to our first meeting online in ZOOM on Thursday, July 11th. This summer quarter is short and does not allow for a missed week of content. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please:

Read through Chapter 1 of Professional Practice for Interior Designers (If you do not have this book, I believe the library has a book on reserve). You will need access to this book during our class and for your own library when you graduate. This is a designers "bible" for business practices and has every answer to any question you may have about running a business. I recommend having the book open during lectures to highlight pertinent information for this class.
Read through the Lecture Notes in the Module.
Read through the Elsie De Wolfe Biography attached (What a fascinating person, and the first official "Designer" in the United States. She paved a way for others to follow and pursue "Interior Design" as a career.)
Read through History of the Colony Club in the module and then flip and read through all the following "slides" that are supplemental slides that go with this week's content and lecture.
Lastly, after doing the above, finish your syllabus acknowledgment and Week 1 Elevator Speech assignment.

Please be prepared for online ZOOM polls to answer questions from chapter readings of our book during our ZOOM class on Thursday, July 11th online in ZOOM .

Please reach out with any questions.
