Maggie Hartnett ’23 and Professor David Karmon
Maggie Hartnett ’23 knew she enjoyed the architecture classes she took during her first year at Holy Cross, but wasn’t quite sure she wanted to be an architect. Then, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she took note of the changes in urban living — people leaving cities in search of more space, others moving cities when remote work made it possible. And it gave her an idea: She could create her own self-designed major to study urban environments.
