Mar 2 - NOMAS Sytmposium
The NOMASymposium is an annual student driven event organized by the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) with participation from renowned architectural professionals and practitioners from the southern region. Each year since its inception in 2004, several minority architects and designers participate with faculty and students in a day long discussion about minority issues. The Symposium also features a lecture by a minority architect and exhibition of student work.
This year the participants include William Stanley (of Stanley Love-Stanley, Atlanta); Antoine Bryant (of Neighborhood Recovery CDC, Houston) and Debbie Cherry (of Debbie Cherry Associates, Tupelo).
The Symposium will begin at 1.00pm in the Bettersworth Auditorium in Giles Hall (Architecture) followed by a lecture presentation by Ivenue Love-Stanley (of Stanley Love-Stanley, Atlanta), the first African American woman architect to be registered in the south.
We look forward to your participation in the 2007 NOMASymposium.

Summer Camps
Design Discovery
Design Discovery is an eight day summer camp intended to answer many of
the questions about architecture and design as fields of study and as
professions. The major goal of the workshop is to simulate the
information, skill, and intensity required for an architectural
education and to give clear insight into the practice of architecture.
With this experience, it will be possible for the participants to make
an informed career decision about architecture and its related
disciplines.
