The McHarg Fellowship is a fellowship given by The Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology to an emerging voice in landscape architecture and its related fields. The Fellowship is awarded competitively on an annual basis and the fellow is expected to be in residence at Weitzman (in Philadelphia) full-time for one academic year. The purpose of the Fellowship is to create a breakthrough opportunity for an emerging professional and/or academic, who would benefit most from support to conduct research, to teach, and to be mentored by faculty over the term of the fellowship.
The McHarg Center’s mission is to build on the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design’s position as a global leader in urban ecological design. It brings together environmental and social scientists together with planners, designers, policymakers, and communities to develop practical, innovative ways of improving the quality of life in the places most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
