VICTORIA RIEDINGER

            Victoria Riedinger is in her 5th and final year at Penn State University. In the spring of 2016 she’ll graduate with an integrated Bachelor’s & Master’s of Architectural Engineering with a lighting/electrical focus. She’ll also graduate from the Schreyer Honors College and receive a minor in Architectural Studies. Outside of the classroom Victoria is involved in a number of organizations such as the Penn State chapter of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), the Student Society of Architectural Engineers (SSAE), and the Penn State student chapter of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). For three years she’s participated in the national Residential Construction Management Competition through NAHB along with other Penn State students. This past year, Victoria and her team took home 1st place out of 34 teams. She’s also a student member of the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD).

         During the summer of 2014, Victoria studied abroad with the Penn State Sede di Roma program. That summer she also worked as a lighting design intern for CannonDesign in Boston, MA. This past summer Victoria interned with The Lighting Practice in Philadelphia, PA. These internships have helped her gain industry experience that has proven invaluable for her education. She looks forward to working in the lighting design field and putting her design instruction to use.

            Outside of academics Victoria enjoys art, traveling, playing sports and music, and spending time with her family and friends. She couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing opportunities she’s had at Penn State, and looks forward to pursuing her passions outside of school.

           After graduation, Victoria will be joining the lighting group at CannonDesign in Boston, MA.
