Why did you choose Taubman College?
Taubman College’s high-ranking and one-year M.S. program made it everything I was looking for.
How did Taubman College prepare you for your career?
Taubman College organized a week-long externship program to give students an idea of the architecture industry in the United States, which came in handy to me as an international student. We also had an annual career fair, ahead of which the students were trained on how to conduct ourselves and talk to professionals. Taubman College also organizes monthly lectures, which can be an opportunity to network.
What is an important lesson that has stayed with you from your time at Taubman College?
Network! Reach out to professionals in the field, call them, or message them on LinkedIn. Ask for an informational interview. Send them follow-up emails and thank them for their time. If you want something, then go after it.
