The National Kitchen & Bath Association has given Lakeland College’s interior design technology program a 2023 Excellence in Education Award.
This is the eighth time the college has received the award and for 17 years Lakeland students have placed in the NKBA’s Student Design Competition. IDT program head Rochelle Horne, says it’s exciting for the interior design technology program to be recognized by the NKBA.
“It’s a powerful testament to our students’ knowledge and skillset and our instructors’ guidance and support,” says Rochelle Horne, IDT program head.
The 2023 Excellence in Education Awards are based on submissions to the NKBA’s 2021-22 Student Design Competition with the winners announced later in the year.
“Our interior design technology program at Lakeland is grateful for the nurturing programming the NKBA offers, ensuring students, graduates and professionals are aligned for success. Our program and students receive incredible support from the NKBA, especially from our Prairie Provinces Chapter. The chapter executive, individuals, and company members always embrace our students as emerging professionals,” says Horne.
Lakeland College is the first Canadian institution accredited by the NKBA in 1999 and has founding member status.
