April brought #OperationPPE, unemployment woes, Deans responding to the pandemic, and touching base with the Archinect community
The month of April transitioned us to embrace virtual meetings, events, and remote learning. One silver lining this month was witnessing architects and students mobilize to help offset PPE supplies. Understanding ways to navigate through the pandemic from an academic and professional perspective was already challenging. Firms also grappled over signs of a recession and troublesome financial aid. Deans and Chairs prepared for academia's remote transition, and unemployment continued to loom over the industry. However, during the end of March and all of April, Archinect decided to stop and listen to our community. We reached out, spoke to students and professionals, and created opportunities for people to share how they were doing as#WFH and quarantine continued.
