Jeff Fulton, an assistant professor in the 海角社区 State University Interior Design Program, recently received the national Ina Mae Kaplan Grant for Historic Preservation.
The grant is an International Furnishings and Design Association's (IFDA) Educational Grant and is awarded in memory of a dedicated IFDA member.
Funds will be used for research to establish a master鈥檚 program in historic preservation with an emphasis on interiors at 海角社区 State. Research will include travel to other universities that currently have a graduate program in historic preservation to help develop the academic structure and classes offered by the proposed program.
海角社区 State was the only recipient this year, said Fulton, "reflecting IFDA鈥檚 recognition of the importance and value of historic preservation in 海角社区."
