The Schools Connections Committee connects with students of local architecture programs to make the transition from student to professional a bit easier. The intention is to engage with students and help incorporate them into a professional network even before they graduate. Today’s current architecture students are the future of the profession, so it is important to include them in experiences to provide a glimpse into what their day to day could be like, what to expect if they decide to pursue licensure, ins and outs of being a designer/architect, and opportunities to grow in their career as a whole.
