pursued the Masters in Preservation Studies Degree and courses in the
School of Business. In addition, they are all involved in community
programs and are active in a variety of organizations.
GUEST LECTURES
Since the School is not situated at a major crossroads for nationally and
internationally active architects and planners, the lecture series and visiting
critics program provide critical points of contact between such people and
our students and faculty. Funded through a variety of sources, the School
of Architecture Lecture Series—presented in both the fall and spring of
each year—includes between ten and fifteen evening lectures by regional
and national figures from within and outside the discipline. The specially
endowed Lawrence Lecture allows the School to host an internationally
renowned architect or critic each year. The Davis Critic, also a specially
endowed position for foreign architects, is selected annually and spends a
week participating in the life of the School before delivering a public lecture
in our spring series.
