Twente Hall Memories: The orange office
"When I moved into Twente Hall as the director of the BSW Program, they told me I could pick my paint color. Because they gave me no parameters, I picked an adobe orange. People were shocked when it was done! People would come by and stare at it. I loved it. Of course, another professor then came and painted her a mix of blue and green. It was wild and amazing! I am sure when we left, someone likely painted both rooms something much more neutral."
Lori Messinger was director of the BSW program at the KU School of Social Welfare from 2004 to 2010, and taught at the School from 2004 to 2011. She is currently dean of the College of Social Work at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
