The managing partner and co-owner of Arch+Etc. architectural firm in Lincoln, was elected recently to the Peru State College Foundation Board of Directors, where she’ll serve a three-year term.
Joy spent much of her childhood in Peru, where her parents Jerry Joy ‘65 and the late Marlene Joy were teachers and coaches. She was a fixture at Bobcat athletic events, roaming the practice fields and attending games.
She took coursework from Peru State after graduating from the former Southeast Nebraska Consolidated school in Stella. Joy also attended Kansas State University before transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she earned her degree in architecture.
But she’s remained connected to Peru State and was excited to be asked to join the Foundation board.
Joy also brings a wealth of experience in community service and non-profit organizations. She’s currently the chair of the Lincoln/Lancaster County (Neb.) Planning Commission and chaired and served for seven years at the LUX Center for the Arts, among others.
The Peru State College Foundation is the private non-profit corporation that receives and disburses charitable contributions in support of Nebraska’s first college.
