However, it is also clear educational community: students, faculty, and that major cultural shifts must occur if we alumni. There is much to celebrate. Roaya are to address environmental change and Higazi (BSCRP ’21) is the new president 400 years of racial inequity. If, that is, we of Ohio State’s Undergraduate Student are to fulfill the promise that Fareed Zakaria Government and our graduate students were so eloquently described.

Architecture still enrolls the majority planners, landscape architects, and architects.
