Friends of the School


Students participate in mock interviews

The goals of the Friends organization are to:

  • Join alumni with one another and the university;
  • Create opportunities for both alumni and students;
  • Recognize outstanding contributions to architecture and design from within our alumni, student and faculty community;
  • Advocate strongly for design education;
  • Develop ways to financially support special projects or programs for the School of Architecture & Design; and
  • Serve as a resource for mentoring, networking and professional development.

There are many ways for you to get involved as a Friend of the School. Some of our ideas include: mentoring, speaking, sharing and meeting. We know you'll have lots of ideas too! By completing our interest form, we will carefully curate the types of opportunities we send your way and know when best to reach out for you to share your years of experience and expertise.
