Mahdi Sabbagh

Mahdi grew up in East Jerusalem. He graduated from Yale College in 2010. As an undergraduate, he majored in architecture and somehow also managed to find the time to be involved in cultural and political activities on campus. For two years after graduation, he led a double life: Manhattan CAD monkey by day, Brooklyn hipster after hours. This year, Mahdi returns to the Yale School of Architecture to start his Masters degree and escape from the concrete jungle. He is looking forward to being part of this great program, meeting new people, giving advice on studying and working in the architecture field, and to benefit from Yale’s lavish dining halls.
