Drawing from her experiences as both a junior designer in practice and an academic, she will speak about the challenges and opportunities for personal and professional growth she has encountered.

Professor Van Duzer will highlight the diverse pathways available within and adjacent to the discipline, offering insight into how one might shift between different modes of working and leading. This conversation aims to provide students with a broader understanding of what a career in architecture can look like, and the confidence to imagine self-defined paths within the field.
