Meg isn&#8217;t just a student working in our office, in many ways she&#8217;s become part of what we do and who we are. We&#8217;ve been able to entrust her with any project and we know it will be done well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2747\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/04\/hphdmegba.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2747   \" alt=\"hphdmegba\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/04\/hphdmegba.jpg\" width=\"287\" height=\"222\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Health &amp; Human Performance Lab Before\/After<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Buchmann, who has worked in the CPS dean&#8217;s Office since November 2010, also works for UWSP Facility Services. She will graduate with honors in May with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/ia\" target=\"_blank\">Bachelor&#8217;s of Art in Interior Architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have gained an immense insight into my career path of interior design,&#8221; said Buchmann. &#8220;By completing projects, I am coming into the field with hands-on experience most students with my degree don&#8217;t have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of Buchmann&#8217;s biggest projects was a complete remodel of the a 4k program Gesell Institute. She was able to transform a room that was not functioning properly and uncomfortable for timid students into a space that maximizes the space and creates a welcoming and flexible environment. The remodel benefited the community, teachers, student teachers and the 4k students.<\/p>\n<p>Completed projects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gesell Institute: complete remodel and project management (CPS 124\/126)<\/li>\n<li>Health &amp; Human Performance Lab: complete remodel and project management (HEC 033)<\/li>\n<li>Student Lounge: redesign (HEC 112)<\/li>\n<li>Center for Collaborative &amp; Interactive Technologies\u00a0Lab: remodel (CPS 104)<\/li>\n<li>Distance Learning Lab: redesign (CPS 234)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Most importantly I gained a family,&#8221; said Buchmann. &#8220;The CPS Dean&#8217;s Office has been a place of retreat for me, even when completing tedious tasks. The staff and faculty here have supported me in both academics and my personal life. Of all the things I will miss from UWSP, my part-time job and the people I worked with will be missed the most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Student Employee of the Year award includes a $100 scholarship that will be presented at the UWSP Leadership Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 1.
