After decades of dormancy, Professor Tom Fisher (MDC) has helped revive, along with a number of enthusiastic students, the Tau Sigma Delta fraternity at the College of Design.
As the only honor society nationally recognized in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and the allied arts, Tau Sigma Delta recognizes student intellectual achievement and leadership skills.
Membership is extended to both undergraduate and graduate students with the highest academic standings in their class. “The University of Minnesota had the second oldest Tau Sigma Delta chapter in the U.S., after Michigan’s, which is why we are the ‘Beta’ chapter,” said Fisher. “I wanted to revive the Beta chapter because it not only honors our students but also allows them to work together across disciplinary boundaries and links them to a national network of potential employers. Martha McDonell and I at the MDC have really enjoyed working with and supporting such a great group of students!”

The work and accomplishments of female architects have historically been overlooked in the profession.
To help address this issue, the Women in Architecture Student Organization (WIASO), in collaboration with the School of Architecture, presents the fall lecture series Make Space: Women in Architecture.
After nearly three years of work, College of Design student group AIAS Freedom by Design installed and unveiled a set of playground instruments for Karner Blue Education Center this May.
The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is an association created to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship. This year, the College of Design’s student chapter of ASLA has more than tripled its membership.
