Charles Dagit taught architectural design for 40 years at Temple University, and Drexel University, and was a visiting critic and lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Syracuse University.
In 2012 the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Pennsylvania presented Charles Dagit with its highest honor, the Gold Medal of Distinction for his career achievements in architecture. Only three other Philadelphia Design Architects have ever received this award; Robert Venturi, Peter Bohlin, and Vincent Kling.
