Architecture is a family tradition for Jeffrey Raven, NYIT's director of the graduate program in Urban and Regional Design. He has more than 20 years of experience, including running his namesake firm, RAVEN A+U. Longer still is an appreciation for architecture gleaned from living in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Gandhi believes that it is imperative that we offer our students lateral and comprehensive ways of thinking, communication, and visual representation in our increasingly connected world. After leading students in a traveling design studio program in India, she said, I was happy to see our students engaging so critically with local architects. Discussions centered on pressing contemporary issues that could inform solutions locally, but also within larger global contexts.
