The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) Student Chapter faculty advisor at California State University-Long Beach (CSULB), and industrial design assistant professor—David Teubner, IDSA—tells Voice of America the 23-year-old ID student, Nohemi Gonzalez, who was one of the 129 people killed Nov. 13, 2015 in the terrorist attack in Paris, was a hard working person who also mentored other students. “Energetic, bubbly, warm, wonderful and crazy…. She sent me an email last week telling me how much she was enjoying it over there; how much she was learning.”

IDSA Fellow Darrell Staley has passed away from cancer. He was 78 years old. "He was a designer, painter, traveler, writer, innovator who was creative, intelligent, fun, witty, sweet, charming, private and a wonderful friend to so many of us," former IDSA Executive Director Bob Schwartz, FIDSA, fondly recalls.

"Darrell was a wonderful guy, a highly professional designer and a generous contributor to IDSA," remembers Katherine McCoy, FIDSA.
