IDEC Presents Community Service Award at the 2012 Annual Conference

April 9, 2012 - PRLog -- The IDEC Community Service Award was presented on Wednesday, March 21 during the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. The award recognizes and honors a significant contribution of community service associated with the discipline of interior design by an individual or group at a national, regional or local level.
   
The 2012 winner is Hannah Mendoza, Assistant Professor, University of North Carolina Greensboro. Hannah is leading a global studio that has designed a school for a village in Ghana.

Referencing the project, one reviewer said, “The Ghana community will receive multiple benefits…such endeavors have a strong potential to increase a sense of community among design students while informing and educating them to the value of design within the community.”
