National Organization of Minority Architect Students (NOMAS)
The National Organization of Minority Architect Students is an assemblage of students
who bring greater awareness to the problems affecting minority groups within the architecture
community through the use of provocative but constructive dialogue. Working within
a larger national network, NOMAS seeks to address the issues of discrimination, professional
relationships, culture, and public policy as they relate to minorities in the architecture
community.
Many students continue to be involved with NOMA, the professional organization that
NOMAS is a branch of, after graduating and entering the greater architectural community.

Studio Hacks

A club designed to help architecture students learn the basic skills needed to succeed
in their classes. This includes Model-Making, Drafting, Adobe software, and Rhino
software to mention a few. We provide advice when students are stuck in a project
and provide them with the tools needed to polish their work so they can reach their
full potential. Here at Studio Hacks, we have Officers in 4th, 3rd, and 2nd year who
all have different skills, so we can give students all the help they need. Architecture
can be challenging, and we all understand that because we have all been through it
already. There are many times when a helping hand can make a big difference, so please
don't be scared to reach out if you have any questions. Lastly, attending our workshops
and events is COMPLETELY FREE. We have no fees for any student seeking help.
