2023 Architectural Technology Students

STUDENTS

College often is an immensely consequential adventure in one's life; it is an occasion for personal growth and evolution. Undergraduates attempt to learn who they dream to become and forge many of the needed skills to become a prosperous member of society. But growth isn't completely confined to the classroom - the late nights discussing the Second Intifada with a peer, the personal lesson learned from an old professor, the exposure to a different life experience. As such, attending a diverse college tremendously enhances what one gains from the time at school.
