Leadership by design

Contrary to popular myth, pursuing a School of Architecture degree does not consign you to four to five years of sleeping in studio and a diet of coffee, ramen noodles and Snickers bars. In this weekly class, first- and second-year students discuss how to adjust to university life – while keeping a life outside of class and studio. Visiting lecturers offer workshops on topics such as

  • Stress management

  • Time management

  • Making smart decisions about food

  • Breathing and stretching

  • The importance of exercise

We also want you to succeed after you get your degree. To hone your leadership skills, we teach you how to make professional presentations and work effectively in groups. Older students are on hand to offer guidance and lead community service projects.

After completing the required courses you may continue to participate as a student mentor  and be formally recognized for your participation when you graduate.


Students created sculptures with canned
goods that were later donated to a local
charitable organization.
