WACO, Texas (April 23, 2021) Baylor interior design students won first and third place in the Southwest region in the annual IDEC Student Design Competition held virtually by the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC).
Baylor students competed in six to seven groups against 81 undergraduate students from 31 different universities. They worked in teams of three and presented concept design solutions for real-world problems.
“The central problem was to design, in the midst of the pandemic, a community that supports the health, safety and wellness for veterans,” said Anna Dean, junior interior design student. “Veterans often struggle with mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.”

WACO, Texas (April 12, 2021) Managers should listen more, be empathetic and be sure they give feedback even if they cannot solve a problem immediately, according to a Baylor University study that focused on workplace communication during the pandemic.
The crisis highlighted the need for better on-the-job communication with employees now and in the future, when the pandemic recedes, researchers said. Communication often took a back seat this past year, as employees and employers worked remotely, struggled with technology barriers, adjusted to physical distancing and sometimes dealt with layoffs.
