On June 30th, 2020, MITArchA held the first of a series of online panel discussions focused on current events including the COVID-19 pandemic currently sweeping the country. This first event, titled “Architecture Alumni on the Covid-19 Frontlines”, focused on the Course IV alumni response to the pandemic.
The event featured three panelists: Jeffrey Berman ’80, Marcel Botha SMArchS ’06, and William Gilchrist ’77 M.Arch ’82 SM’82, and was moderated by Pamela Tang, Marilys Nepomechie, and Kenneth Namkung (all members of MITArchA’s Board of Directors).
The event began with a short presentation from each panelist, followed by two questions from the moderators. A Q & A session, in which attendees were able to ask directed questions followed the moderated portion of the event.
The panel discussion ended with a closing statement from each panelist, ending the event on a bright and positive note.
