Psi Class consisted of 66 talented individuals from a diverse range of trades that included 12 lighting designers, 19 architects, 3 electrical engineers and 6 landscape architects. Twenty-six Sales Representatives and 4 B-K Lighting employees also attended. Lighting designers represented 20% fo the class with the architects closely following with 15% of the class.
Each semester we track the furthest distance traveled by a single specifier. This semester's traveler was Mary Manerd, a lighting designer with Greg Day Lighting Design. She endured 2,646.7 miles to attend classes all the way from Bath, Maine.
As with every BKU we select the worst Gluemasters from each class and from their gluing disasters we select a supreme example. This year's Frankenstar recipient was Bill T. Cocke, one of the principals of First Light which is located in Virginia Beach, VA. He beat out his competitors by wasting an unprecendented $894.69 worth of Nuva-Sil glue.
Continuing educational units were again available this year through the NCQLP, AIA Continuing Education and the Landscape Architect Continuing Education System.
