Mentoring Programs

The College of Design Alumni Chapter encourages graduates to contribute to the college by acting as liaisons among the college community, students, and practicing professionals. Each year, the College of Design alumni chapter also sponsors a mentoring program to match local industry professionals with student designers. The college also calls on the members of the Architecture Guild of Arizona State, the Arizona Design Institute, the Council for Design Excellence, and the Planning Advisory Committee for advice and to promote the goals of the college.

Employment

It is difficult for students in the college to work while in school. Acceptance to any of the college’s professional programs presumes a commitment of a minimum of eight hours a day for professional studies. If students must work to help pay for educational or living expenses, it is recommended that they do not work more than 20 hours per week. Prior work experience is not a requirement for admission to upper-division programs.

In March 2006, the college’s student organizations hosted a career fair, bringing representatives from Phoenix area architecture, design, and planning firms to the college.
