2B an Architect: College Fair



The AIA Dallas Associates Committee would like to invite all local high school juniors and seniors to our annual “2B an Architect” event on November 17, 2012 at the Dallas Center for Architecture.  The events of the day will include a college fair and a panel discussion comprised of practicing architects, interns, current students and Professors from local universities.  Students, parents, teachers and counselors will be able to ask questions, receive first-hand information on what it takes to become an architect and learn the specifics on how each university architectural program is uniquely different.  Students will also gain knowledge on the path an architecture student takes upon graduating college, internship development requirements, the licensing process and the professional practice and organizations that support it.  This is a FREE event but online registration is required.  A flyer with the pertinent information is attached for your convenience.  Universities who were represented at last year’s event include:   University of Texas at Austin, Texas Tech University, University of Texas at Arlington, Rice University, Prairie View A&M, University of Houston, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Kansas, Kansas State, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Arkansas, University of Illinois (U-C), Louisiana State University and Louisiana Tech University.
