The 2021 Weitzman School Awards
The 2021 Weitzman School Awards took place on Thursday, November 18 at 5:30pm, at the Kleinman Energy Forum located in Fisher Fine Arts Library on Penn's campus.
Weitzman was excited to celebrate our students and design leaders in person while following all safety guidelines to protect our attendees. Besides the live campus event, there were two virtual talks honoring the winners in January 2022.
All event proceeds went to supporting student scholarships in architecture and city and regional planning.
