Organized by Undergraduate students Allyn Vialt (B.Arch '21) and Babatunde-Majadi Adejare (B.Arch '23) the event welcomed conversations from SCI-Arc faculty in addition to a line-up of leaders and advocates for change and progress within the profession.

The 15th annual Spring Show co-curated by Aminatou Fall and Zeina Koreitem will be on May 22nd and the final lecture of the series will be given by Madebo Fatunde and Kahlil Joseph on a date April 7th.
