OU Urban Design Studio alumnus Paulina Baeza was recently honored with the Tulsa’s Young Professionals (TYPros) Boomtown “Urban Advocate Award,” which recognizes supporters of urban revitalization to enhance Tulsa’s quality of life and attract young professionals.
A statement describing Baeza’s contributions in the Tulsa World said, “Paulina Baeza often shies away from the spotlight, but her work to make Tulsa a more connected, walkable and bikeable city speaks for itself. As a transportation planner at INCOG, Paulina works to create solutions for the transportation challenges our city faces today and in the future. Paulina is perhaps best known for her community activism and strong support of east Tulsa. Through her graduate school research, Paulina created an area plan for the 21st and Garnett corridor and works to ensure the multicultural diversity of the area is celebrated.”
During the Spring 2026 semester, students in Interior Design Studio IV and Graduate Studio IV gained hands-on experience in educational facility design through a semester-long partnership with MA+ Architecture.
The Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture congratulates Dr. Tammy McCuen, Robert E. Busch Professor of Construction Science, on beginning her term as president of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), an international organization dedicated to advancing construction education through teaching, research and service.
Following years of contributions to the College’s research and strategic initiatives, Gibbs College shares that Associate Dean for Research and External Engagement Angela M. Person, PhD, will step down from her position at Gibbs College as she moves to Tucson with her family, effective June 30, 2026.
