On October 22, 2024, David Owe and Laura Ellis had the incredible honor of visiting the White House, proudly representing the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design. On behalf of President and Dr. Biden, they were invited to an Open House tour for the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA).
Walking through those historic halls was an unforgettable experience, and it served as a powerful reminder of the impact design can have in shaping our world. This opportunity highlighted the importance of using design as a tool for positive change and meaningful connections.
Grateful for this incredible experience!
