In the new episode, titled “Exploring Connection with Award-Winning Professor and Architect Teresa Rosano,” Franke Honors College Interim Dean John Pollard holds a conversation with Rosano about her design approach, the creative process, her values as an architect and instructor, and the importance of connection to people and place.

In April, Rosano, a 1994 graduate of the UArizona Bachelor of Architecture program who joined CAPLA in 2011, was selected for the Five Star Faculty Award. The honor, which recognizes excellence in teaching and mentoring and is the only university-wide award for faculty members that is determined by undergraduate students, is awarded by the Franke Honors College.
