GSAPP returns to Avery with great momentum. Over the break, students, faculty, and our wider ecosystem moved across the globe: some going home, others connecting with one another, many conducting field research for spring projects. Collaborating across time zones, they engaged urgent local realities while tracing the global systems that shape them, bringing this knowledge and energy back to New York for the semester ahead. With two weeks to go before classes begin, this is a good time to take stock of the energy already in motion: awards and recognitions, new grants and publications, collaborations, that expanded our ecosystem over the past year, and to look ahead to the spring semester’s forthcoming programming and announcements.
