Rosina Bierbaum, dean of the School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE), and James van Sweden, landscape architect and co-founder of Oehme van Sweden & Associates, connect at an SNRE alumni reception and student recruiting event in Washington, D.C. The recycled glass memento recognizes van Sweden’s support of SNRE. Van Sweden shared reflections with the group on his work designing the forthcoming World War II memorial in Washington. It will be at the east end of the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The memorial is on schedule for completion in March 2004, according to http://www.wwiimemorial.com/.
