Remembering Blair Phillips : Call for Submissions

We have suffered a great loss in the passing of our friend, colleague and former student Blair Phillips.  over these past few weeks we have witnessed an incredible outpouring of support for Blair, his family and friends, something we hope to transform into something beautiful and uplifting: a collective and tangible expression of our love for Blair.

Please prepare a note to, for, or about Blair and his full life - a memory, a lesson learned, a virtuous trait, etc.  These small notes (approximate size 4"x5") will be a part of a larger collage to be posted in the halls of campbell hall, the school of architecture, and later collected and presented to the Phillips family. This will serve as a way to inform others of the impact Blair has had on so many of our lives, as well as help his memory live on in our own hearts and minds. The exhibit will be on display starting on Sunday, February 3, 2013, accepting notes from now until it is sent to the family in a few weeks time, exact date TBD. Notes can be posted in person at the school on the second floor curving wall starting Monday February 4, or can be mailed to the following address:
