This is the first post of our new blog series, Why Weitzman Wednesdays! Over the next five weeks we will be featuring current students and alums across all departments. We have asked them to share why they chose Weitzman in hopes that it will help make your decision a little easier and show why Weitzman is the right choice for you!
“Before Penn, I worked for a small architectural firm, and I especially enjoyed it when I had the opportunity to work on older buildings that required additional attention to detail. I understood that buildings have history. The comprehensive nature of the historic preservation curriculum was particularly appealing: I could merge a historical approach with my design process. I was drawn to the interdisciplinary nature of the school. While at Weitzman, I’ve had the opportunity to take classes outside of my discipline, which has been an enriching way to challenge some concepts of my research while reinforcing others.”
