As we settle into remote/hybrid/in-person working arrangements, Yale Women in Architecture has been taking a close look at future communications. Thanks to a diligent team of younger alumni, Cooper Hall, BA Yale ‘18,  Sophie Potter, BA Yale ‘20, Gioia Connell M Arch ‘20,  and their colleague Madison Silvers, YWA social media platforms are being updated to increase opportunities for alumnae/alumni to connect.

Most importantly, the group’s Facebook page will become private in early 2022. This means that members –  anyone who signs up to join the group –  can enjoy internal posts and conversations germane to their lives and careers within the security of a closed network. It will be a great place to showcase recent work, post jobs, and do outreach/mentoring.

The website yalewomeninarchitecture.org will be updated to include the recordings of past events. YWA’s Instagram page (@yale.women.in.architecture), now with almost 1200 followers and has a terrific summary of our in-person and remote events. 

YWA is pleased by the success of Studio Visits: West Coast Practices which we hosted on July 14, 2021.  Marisa Kurtzman, M.ARCH '06 , Rebecca Katkin, M.ARCH '99 and Coreina Chan , BA‘97 presented and discussed their work and career paths. 

YWA co-chairs Nicole Emmons, BA ’98; Celia Imrey, M Arch ’93;  Andrea Mason M Arch ’94; and Jennifer Sage, M Arch ’84 are planning the in-person and 2022 kick-off meeting. Mark your calendars!

See you all in the New Year!
