M 05 Nov | 5:00pm | Kresge Theatre
Co-sponsored by the CMU Career and Professional Development Center
Join the School of Architecture on Monday 05 November at 5:00pm for nEXt-UP, a conversation on architectural careers with SoA alumni. The event features a panel discussion on the diversity of career trajectories possible following the powerful experience and foundation of an architectural education.
The event will begin with presentations from each of our alumni panelists on their work, followed by a moderated panel discussion. The panel explores the experience and perspectives of our panelists, how they leveraged their education to get to where they are today, and how their professional career, work, and research were informed by their education in the School of Architecture. The panelists will share their experiences in practice, education, and other related ventures.
Following the panel discussion is a reception providing the opportunity for attendees to network with our moderator, panelists, invited guests, alumni, and current students.
