WELCOME NEW STUDENT MEMBERS
Greetings everyone! On behalf of the LSC-Kingwood
Interior Design Student Chapter, we would like to welcome
all our new student members. Our student chapter
encompasses professional organizations such as the
American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), National
Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), International
Interior Design Association (IIDA), and NEWH-The
Hospitality Industry Network. Our Chapter is dedicated to
promote design excellence and demonstrate the value of
professionalism. We provide opportunities for students to
network with members of the design industry through
monthly guest speakers. At our monthly meetings, held on
the second Tuesday of every month, you will be kept up to
date with the latest trends in design as well as information
about upcoming professional events.
The students at Lone Star
College Kingwood decided
it was time to update their
Student Chapter t-shirt and
had a contest for all the
students to participate in!
The winner of the contest
will have their design
printed on the new batch of
t-shirts. The winner was
Denise Josey. Great job!

DESIGN TIMES
On February 11, 2010 the Congress of clubs
met for its semester meeting. The
organization delegate, Megan Rosenquist
attended and spoke on the behalf of our
organization. At the club she had the
pleasure to hear what was going on in other
organizations of campus. Many of the clubs
were familiar and there were also a few new
ones.
At the meeting there is an overall consensus
that many of the clubs want to get to know
the other clubs and want to socialize and
network amongst each other. Many of the
organizations would also like to work
together and help out with many community
projects. With that statement it was brought
up that maybe a networking and social
meeting should be held. More information
about what is going on campus and clubs is
obtained by attending the Student
Government meetings, but many of the clubs
want a more informal event. The student
government also urged for more student body
and club representation at the Student
Government meetings which are held every
other Thursday (unless campus-wide special
events are scheduled) at 12:30pm in COT
100.
The last topic that was discussed was for
the creation of a student committee that
would collaborate on doing unique things in
the community. It would be a committee
outreach program, that would participate in
town hall meetings and discuss ideas and
programs that would branch into the local
community. This committee is to be
composed of individuals who want to reach
out and connect with the community and
show all the LSC-Kingwood has to offer and
more. The first Student Open Forum
committee meeting will be this Wednesday,
February 16, 2011. It will be held from
1:30pm to 2:30pm. For more information send an email to:

GUEST SPEAKERS
Each month our student chapter has the opportunity of being
introduced to talented professionals in the design field. We were
honored to have Diana Walker, former ASID President of the Texas
Gulf Coast, speak to us about her professional experiences and tips
for success including money, leadership, marketing, education, and
employment. Our chapter even participated in a group
demonstration to learn about various aspects of the design business.
One piece of advice that will truly be our guidance will to remember
to "bring a skill to a firm that you can leave behind and leave an
impact".
Our student chapter also had the pleasure of meeting with Valerie
Jones, a commercial and residential designer who owns her own
company Ivory and Aubergine. During her presentation, our
chapter viewed her design portfolio which included pictures of
previous works such as designs of Rockdale High School, and her
current project, San Jacinto College. Valerie Jones was also able to
connect with the chapter on a different level in explaining the
transition from school to the real world.

ASID SHOW HOUSE
Lone Star College –Kingwood is participating in the 2011
ASID Show House benefitting Memorial Hermann
Children’s hospital. This year’s group of student designers
will be creating a unique utility room that is multifunctional
and fits the hill country theme of the model home. The
concept for the space is, “Crystal Clean” and the concept
statement is as follows:
A warm and elegant utility room will be created through the
use of neutral colors and a mixture of metallic elements.
Stainless steel, bronze, and crystal will contribute to the
modernized hill country feel of the home. The functional,
multi-use space will meet the unique needs of each
household member.
