Student Organizations

Architecture Club

The Architecture Club is an independent organization of Wellesley College art and architecture students. Our mission is to be a resource for potential and current students of design. We seek to provide advice and inspiration for those interested in architecture and related fields and to facilitate networking and the spread of ideas amongst students, alumnae and professionals. Annual events include visits to local architecture firms, a panel on architecture study abroad programs, an interactive information session on graduate school programs in design, and portfolio reviews. For more information, or to become involved in the organization, please refer to our Sakai website (https://sakai.wellesley.edu/portal/site/org0134), our Facebook group (Wellesley Architecture Network, http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/214764475250097/) or email Presidents Anna Lake-Smith and Pratibha Chauhan at alakesmi@wellesley.edu and pchauhan@wellesley.edu respectively.
