Student Organizations and Groups

  • AIAS (American Institute of Architects Student Group)
    The AIAS is a national, student-run organization that is more than just a club. This grassroots association is a cooperative among thousands of students in North America (of all ages and academic degrees) committed to helping each other. It provides a sense of community and a forum to share differing views. The AIAS is also a professional organization that is the official voice of architecture students.

    AIAS Berkeley is a part of the West Quad Chapters, and it has been 10 years since our chapter started. Our chapter will host the West Quad Conference in Spring 2010. You can find more information at aias.org.
