Alumni Spotlight
HARPER HICKS BATEMAN, BArch 2000
The Aviation Architect
  
LSU School of Architecture alumna Harper Hicks Bateman never imagined she would end up as vice president of Corgan's Aviation Studio in Dallas a mere 15 years after graduation. She interviewed with Corgan during a career fair at the LSU College of Art & Design during her fifth year of study in the Bachelor of Architecture program. She was hired and has been living in Dallas working in the Aviation Studio at Corgan ever since.
  
Harper oversees general studio management, and she serves as the lead architect on small- and large-scale projects, such as the renovation of the four original terminals at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. She also manages the hiring of new employees. In fact, Harper has come full circle. She now attends LSU's College of Art & Design Networking Day as an employer looking for new hires rather than a student looking for her first job. "LSU has a lot of great talent we see when they come through," she said.
 
Currently, Corgan employs 24 LSU alumni from both the architecture and interior design programs - six in the Aviation Studio alone.
