AIAS Habitat for Humanity Day Trip

GET Hammered!

Join AIAS for a Habitat for Humanity day trip to Arundel, Maryland on Saturday October 4th to build stuff and help provide quality housing for low income residents.

Sign ups will be posted Monday September 29th at 9 am on the back of the Miller Space in the Main Hall of the Crough Center. This event is reserved exclusively for architecture students.
AIAS members with paid memberships get priority in sign ups meaning available spaces will first go to AIAS members and then to other architecture students. There are only 10 spots so sign up fast!

Those who are attending the event will be emailed more specific instructions during the week.

Questions? email us at aiasatcua@gmail.com.

Thanks CUA Habitat for Humanity!

This week at CUArch...

Here are some things going on in our school.

Freedom By Design is having two meetings this week. One on Tuesday, September 23 at 1pm and another on Wednesday, September 24 at 6:30 pm. Be on the lookout for flyers around the school.

AIAS is having a meeting on Wednesday, September 24 right after the FBD meeting.

Membership forms are due on Wendesday, September 24 in the AIAS mailbox in the front office.

The travel committee is sponsoring trips to visit graduate schools. Please email Craig Toocheck (82toocheck@cua.edu) suggestions of different cities, grad schools, ideas, etc. If you are interested in participating, let us know!

Habitat for Humanity is sponsoring a day trip just for AIAS members! It is on Saturday, October 4. Keep an eye out for flyers for more details.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email any of the officers or AIAS (aiasatcua@gmail.com).

Freedom By Design

Good news! CUA's chapter of Freedom by Design (FBD) is in full swing. We've got a great team this year and they are very enthusiastic about being involved within the university and the community. If you are still interested, you can contact Sam Weaver (67weaver@cua.edu) or Jessie Euler (17euler@cua.edu). AIAS will keep you updated on everything that FBD is up to.

NCARB came to Catholic

So maybe you decided you would rather have Pryz food than the free pizza at the NCARB info session...



Regardless you can still get the details provided by NCARB about the steps to becoming an Architect after school. The presenter encouraged attendees to contact her with questions, her contact info is below. She would be happy to answer any questions you might have whether you were able to attend the session or not. I would also encourage you to check out the website at ncarb.org which has all the materials she gave as handouts.

Thanks to all those who attended, and would anyone be interested in a LEED certification info session?

AIAS Update

Hey guys! If you weren't able to attend our first general meeting, fear not. Here are some things we went over.

Membership forms are due on September 24. Give them to one of the officers or put it in the AIAS mailbox in the front office.

Committee sign up sheets are available. If you are interested in being involved in any one of our committees, give me your name and email. Here are our current committees: Beaux Arts Ball, Forum and Travel, Newsletter, Pecha Kucha, Quad Conference, and the T-Shirt Design Competition. If you would like to participate or not be in a committee, let me know and we'll keep you posted.

We have many fun programs going on this semester. Some things to look out for are the Annual BBQ, an NCARB presentation on the Intern Development Program (IDP), Quad Conference in Toronto, and Forum in Denver.

I hope the start of the school year went well for everyone and I hope to see more of you!
