Six Weitzman Master of Architecture students were selected for Metropolis magazine's Future 100, a group of the top 50 interior design and top 50 architecture students graduating from North American institutions. There were only 31 students in the Graduate Architecture category with Weitzman students comprising of nearly 20%.

Featured students include Maria Fuentes (MArch'21), Paul McCoy (MArch'21), Hanqing (Amie) Yao (MArch'21), Megan York (MArch'21), Chenyang (Jane) Yu (MArch'21), and Jingyi Zhou (MArch'21).

All six Weitzman students were nominated by Andrew Saunders, associate professor and director of the MArch program. The student work is featured online and in the March/April print issue.

Of the selected students, Metropolis says, "They are a diverse group—with many identifying as BIPOC or LGBTQIA—who advocate for openness, equity, and inclusion through their work and extracurriculars. They are leaders on their campuses who are sure to be forces in the industry."
