Events - School of Architecture

In architecture, classroom and studio based instruction is complemented by a wide range of extracurricular programs and events sponsored by the School of Architecture, student organizations and other units on campus. The School regularly presents lectures and exhibits that bring distinguished architects and scholars to campus. Our faculty and students also participate in research and symposia nationally and internationally. Each spring the School's Career Expo attracts representatives of small and large firms from across the Midwest.
