Our alumni network reaches far and wide. As a graduate of NewSchool of Architecture & Design, you’ll join our network of alumni in countries all over the world.
The Newschool Alumni Mentorship Program connects current students with alumni to support students’ academic journeys and career aspirations, while sharing industry insights and connections. The program abides by both Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards’ NCARB standards.
Participants are required to connect at least once a month (via email, phone, Zoom, etc.) as well as once a quarter in person. Several organized events and mixers are offered throughout the school year to make it easier to connect. To learn more about the Alumni Mentorship Program and/or sign up to serve as a mentor, email careerservices@newschoolarch.edu.
Through these inspiring students, current and prospective students can gain insight into the possibilities and opportunities that await them as graduates of NewSchool.
My time as a student consolidated my passion for architecture, a passion which I am continually trying to nurture. The foundation I received at NewSchool, through the teachers and friends I met there, as well as the learning environment we were surrounded with, kept me true to my passion.
I wanted a chance to turn raw spaces into sustainable and unique rooms. I believe interior architecture isn't just about being creative, it also applies psychological and technical skills.
I enjoyed the smaller classrooms and the relationships we could build with the instructors. It made the learning process better and more personal. My fondest memories were when the construction management students would work on their homework and projects together up in the construction management loft.
I needed to make a living and be able to work during the day and attend classes in the evenings. It was almost like NewSchool was made for me.
NewSchool is a community that is very project-based with focus on real-life projects and global issues and for those who learn best by doing and observing. I would say this is the school to be at.
NewSchool taught me how to be critical and how to approach problems and design challenges. They introduced me to processes of problem-solving that engage both theoretical positions and very technical methodologies.
When I visited the school, I was hooked when I saw the studios filled with students making architectural models! Hands down the faculty are the best. George Welch and the rest of the faculty are amazing.
