Carol Case Gaasch (Carol Case Siracuse) is another inspiring findings of my advanced academic research project at the MIT-HTC during my appointment with Professor Robert Geddes, Dean of the Princeton University, School of Architecture. As he shared with me, Carol Case Gaasch (Siracuse) is another early woman graduate of the School as well as a significant threshold in the (feminist) history of Princeton University: Graduated from Smith College in 1960 with a degree in Fine Art, she pursued her architecture education at the Harvard University, GSD in 1966-1969 without a woman role model and then, continued at the Princeton University, School of Architecture in 1970-1971. She studied with Michael Graves as her advisor and then, conducted very successful professional career in architecture.

With my thanks to her for her all answers to my research questions.
