This Fall, we are continuing the development of the Architecture Mentorship Program in the School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation’s Architecture Program, which pairs design professional mentors with student mentees. This program follows a pilot program in Spring 2023 in which 52 design professionals from the region and around the world participated in mentorship meetings with undergraduate and graduate students.
This program intends to foster a culture of mentorship–in an already strong design community–that will empower and support our students at every stage of their education. It aims to complement both regional and global strengths and connect our students in a tangible way to professionals who can offer a variety of insights informed by experience in practice.
Signs up for the Fall program are closed - thanks to the 71 design professionals who are participating! For additional information, please contact the following below:
Ken Filler* - Interim Assistant Director, Undergraduate Architecture
kfiller@umd.edu
Paula Riff - Program Coordinator, Architecture
riffp@umd.ed
*Primary contact: email Ken filler, Mentorship Program Coordinator, for Mentorship Coordinator, communication issues, questions from either mentee/mentor, etc.
