An update from mentor Catherine Burns Wilson

Last Friday, October 28, Stefie Gan came to my office at Callison, an architecture firm located on Lafayette Street in Soho. I gave Stefie a brief tour of my office and then we headed to lunch at Ruby's Cafe on Mulberry Street. At lunch, we talked about my experience in the architecture field from portfolio development to graduate school applications and eventually choosing which firm to work for once in the "real world." Stefie shared with me the work she is currently doing in her senior studio for which she is traveling to Chandigarh, India on November 3 for an intense week long charrette and research experience with her classmates and professor, David Smiley. I am really excited for her to have this opportunity to explore architecture from such a unique perspective and look forward to hearing about her adventures. We already have plans to get together when she returns so I can see the book the studio put together for their trip and hear Stefie's reaction to her experience.

I am really happy to have been paired with Stefie and look forward to our mentor/mentee relationship growing over the next several months.
