For this month's #BKVSketchSpotlight, Interior Designer, Henley Godnai, showcases her works from her travels during her study abroad experience in Greece. "The study abroad program was just 3 weeks long and focused on watercolor. During this time, I was able to produce artwork inspired by the landmarks (Temple of Poseidon, Palamidi Fortress, Olympic Village, Panathenaic Stadium, Acropolis, Parthenon, and many more), cities we visited (Athens, Nafplio, Tinos, Mykonos, and Rafina), and food we ate — looking back at these brings me immediately back to that time in my life." Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us, Henley!

At the 2025 Environments for Aging (EFA) Conference + Expo last month in Lexington, Kentucky, Chris Palkowitsch was one of the featured speakers in the session titled, “Advanced Degree in Senior Living: Why College Towns Are Attracting Seniors." There, Chris discussed design strategies for these unique projects that blend senior living on college campuses, offering a variety of benefits, including fostering connections, maximizing engagement, and leveraging university resources. Just as important, partnerships with nearby colleges can also provide access for seniors to educational, cultural, and volunteer opportunities that foster a sense of purpose and connection — helping residents stay mentally and socially engaged while reinforcing the campus’s role as a part of the broader academic community.
