Who We are:
We are a diverse group of architecture students, recent graduates, and architects who have been licensed for less than 10 years. We work together to provide support for the next steps in our colleagues’ careers, whether that’s taking your first ARE, networking with hiring firms, or learning more about the field from both peers and mentors.
Purpose:
Assist recent graduates with ARE preparation, provide networking and mentorship opportunities for students, recent graduates, and newly licensed architects, and provide a place for knowledge sharing amongst design professionals who are new to the field
Goals:
- Increase the success rate of members who take the ARE’s and CSE
- Host Events where Emerging Professionals can come together
- Host an annual design event where Emerging Professionals can collaborate and work together on current issues
