"Coast-to-Coast, Border-to-Border -- 16 years of full-time RV life" will feature Tina and John Roush sharing their experiences as road warriors: the good, the bad, the oh-so-funny. Tina, by the way, is an artist, capturing America's intriguing sights with her paintbrushes along the way. What they'll cover in their April 11 program: •pros and cons of living in a tiny space •preparatory knowledge of RV •finding volunteer/workcamper jobs •apps/planning a route •highlights of our jobs and experiences •questions/answers
Tina's artworks will be on display in the Union Museum of History and Art from April 9-May 13, in her "Celebrate America-an Artistic Journey Across the USA" exhibit.

On the evening of April 11, 2026, the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the Society for Studio Art Students (SSAS), and Women in Architecture (WIA), along with leaders from other academic clubs within the Louisiana Tech University School of Design, will host the fourth annual School of Design Gala. This prestigious event celebrates the exceptional creativity, dedication, and innovation demonstrated by students within the university’s Design program.

The evening will commence with an exclusive donor cocktail hour from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m with a selection of house wines and cocktails. Following this intimate gathering, doors will open to students and the general public at 7:00 p.m., inviting all attendees to partake in a night of elegance and camaraderie.

Drawing inspiration from the art deco period, this year’s gala embodies a unified vision of artistic excellence. Guests are encouraged to don formal black-tie attire and join us in Ruston for an unforgettable experience that honors the rich heritage of design. Proceeds from this year's gala will directly support student organizations, events, and conferences, fostering leadership and professional growth in the field of design. Notably, the funds raised will empower all participating academic organizations with pedagogical and professional opportunities, further elevating Louisiana Tech University's School of Design on the national stage.
