Studio Associate Professor Susan Conger-Austin will be part of an AIA Chicago panel discussion, “Practice What You Preach: Architects Balancing Practice and Academic Work,” on Thursday, February 28, 5:30 – 7 pm.

Architects who simultaneously balance teaching and their design practice reveal the spectrum of benefits and challenges between these two worlds and what is involved in transcending these careers.
