activities, and has led to the entire re-design of our Open House and Accepted Students Day Programs due to the widespread leadership presence there of our students. The School has also established a Student Athlete Mentor Program led by adjunct faculty Melissa Hutchinson, ’97, herself an academic all- American when she was a student at Roger Williams. Division III student athletes have a higher academic achievement than other students, and benefit from the leadership opportunities that athletics often provide, thus the school and Hutchinson work hard to create an environment where they can balance their academic and other personal interests. The program, Hutchinson and Dean White have received university-wide recognition for their efforts in this regard, which is providing particular support to female students interested in maintaining a balance of activities. Our students have declared that they appreciate the “real” experiences—site visits to Bristol, RI to encounter the beginnings of the urban grid in America from colonial times, and to projects sites in Spain, the Azores, The Netherlands, Mexico, the 2 nd year accessibility exercise where everyone experiences navigating in a wheelchair, installations of architecture work on campus and in town, the semester and winter/summer numerous study abroad opportunities, visits to offices of adjunct and Visiting Faculty and Teaching Firms in Residence. They also appreciate conference presentations with Professor Bonder at Brown University, and regular faculty/student conference presentations through the Environmental Design Research Association with Professor Pavlides. A culture of direct interaction with faculty including the annual Teacher Dinner Raffles engaging 15+ faculty means a great deal to students as they see mentorship turn to collegiality, again indicating their futures as peers, which they can then imagine moving further into their own potentials for professional leadership. They travel extensively abroad with full time and to the offices of visiting faculty, and can thus begin to imagine following further themselves. RWU students actually created the HOK Sustainable Design Seminar begun at the school in 2009 through asking for it to be held, after a student Scott Walzak had interned at the firm the summer before. Since then, the now-graduated alumni Walzak and HOK have won the NextGen Netzero competition due to a key concept Walzak began thinking of while in the HOK Seminar at RWU two years earlier. The June 2011 dedication of an Alumni Circle in the school’s atrium encourages further future potentials, where the names of all graduates since the program was founded can be located, accompanied by a lecture by distinguished alumni Christopher Mulvey, ’97, Principal at Safdie Architects, Shanghai, who will serve as a Global Fellow offering a distance seminar to our students in Spring 2012. The continued evolution of the BS/Master of Architecture program itself contributes to ideas of lifelong learning, as the distinctions between undergraduate and graduate opportunities, expectation and culture are increasingly clear as the program matures. Students can understand that there are stages of inquiry and engagement, furthered by the variety of teaching models and faculty increasingly engaged at the graduate level and beyond. Student interest in the IDP Program, again through persistent effort of AIAS Student leaders at the school, contributes much to an atmosphere of ongoing internship and education for licensure, and ultimately lifelong learning. C. Architectural Education and the Regulatory Environment Architecture students at Roger Williams are educated within a learning environment and mentorship structure which informs and encourages them to successfully proceed through internship and achieve licensure in architecture. This begins in two pre-college programs: Roger Williams’ 4-week HS Summer Academy in Architecture led by adjunct faculty Director Julia Bernert, AIA which has existed since 1997, and Roger Williams’ 1-week Summer Intensive program for HS Students from Philadelphia Charter High School for Architecture and Design (CHAD), Brooklyn High School for the Arts, and Central Falls (RI) High School founded in 2011 and led by adjunct faculty Director Karen Hughes, AIA. Information and
preparation follows through early years of the Architecture curriculum and into the later years of the graduate professional program. All first year students are introduced to IDP Program in the required course, Arch 101 Foundations of Architecture, led by Dean Stephen White, AIA and Professor Andrew Cohen, AIA, with presentations from the School’s IDP Educator Coordinator. The school has evolved an IDP Educator Coordinator cycle engaging both full time and adjunct faculty and alumni as mentors. From 2008-11 Roger Williams’ IDP Educator Coordinator was Associate Professor Robert Dermody, AIA, NCARB, from 2011-14 our IDP Educator Coordinator is adjunct faculty Karen Hughes, ’97, AIA, who teaches first year design, in order to spread knowledge of the IDP Program further among the faculty and to engage adjunct practitioner faculty such as Hughes in a leadership role. Strong and on-going mentorship from fellow students is provided for first year students onward by 50+ AIAS Student Mentors currently led by Roger Williams’ AIAS student leaders David Mistretta, Michael Decoulos, Alicia Tremblay and Eric Schall, who include IDP issues in the regular AIAS meetings they convene in the school, and the widespread mentoring taking place around the design studios through their leadership. Our Student Mentors are actively aware that their mentoring of other students can be credited toward their own IDP record, which has further encouraged their participation. AIA Rhode Island’s Emerging Professionals Committee (EPC) regularly engages with the School through its annual Emerging Professionals events, which are attended by all Roger Williams students enrolled in the required Arch 542 Professional Practice course taught by Gary Graham, FAIA, Associate Professor. Alumni form a further connecting link between the School, the IDP Program and the AIA Rhode Island Chapter as Matthew Clemence, ’04, now serves as AIA Rhode Island’s Associates Director, and engages both with the HS students in the Summer Programs and with the undergraduates and graduates through AIA Rhode Island events the School requires attendance in. IDP and Emerging Professionals Events are held at the school as part of the AIA Rhode Island Emerging Professionals and Corporate Affiliates Fair held each July at Roger Williams since 2004. Roger Williams University graduates’ outstanding ARE pass rates indicate they are well prepared for licensure through the combination of awareness of IDP content along with the student and alumni mentoring they receive through their early careers. Clemence also serves on the School’s Advisory Council. The climate of the program created by the extensive presence of Visiting architects, Teaching Firms and adjunct practitioners provides further support for the transition to internship and licensure. Students appreciate the extent to which design studio instructors in particular at Roger Williams from the first year onward are actively involved in practice. This is supplemented by more than 200 visiting critic participations in the school each year, the vast majority of whom are practicing professionals. The school’s all faculty/no teaching assistant environment insures the presence of many practitioners in the studio, and Teaching Firms regularly engage students into their offices as well. D. Architectural Education and the Profession Architectural Education in the school focuses on balancing local and global issues and practices, as well increased engagement of diverse and collaborative relationships with groups and communities. Our course offerings, faculty programs involving full time, adjunct and visiting critics, and numerous Public Events that engage the profession continue as the core of our offerings engaging the evolving profession and communities in the region. Our high ARE pass rates are indicative of an educational environment that embraces the profession and supports our students future success. Several notable new initiatives since the last NAAB visit further our engagement with the profession and the community locally and globally and transform our students’ education, including:
