Events
The School of Architecture and Design fosters a variety of experiences necessary for a university education by providing students special opportunities. Urban study or study abroad is strongly encouraged as it exposes students to urban conditions and cultural landscapes through domestic and international travel. Students are able to attend the University’s France program centered in Paris, the Italy program centered in Florence, the Mexico program centered in Mexico City, or the building abroad program through the International Design Clinic. In addition to international travel, each studio year has established annual trips to study the architecture and the built environment.

The School of Architecture and Design has an annual lecture series that culminates each spring in Design Week. At the conclusion of each academic year the School of Architecture hosts its annual Awards Ceremony and Thesis Exhibition opening where faculty recognize the achievements of their students’ academic and studio design work. Students are actively involved in student chapters of the American Institute of Architecture Students, the Tau Sigma Delta Society and the Student Government Association.
