Campus Centers

Campus Centers provide an environment for the mutual development and exchange of knowledge between students, educators, administration and design professionals. Campus Center students add further value to their IIDA student membership by working closely with their local IIDA Chapter and/or City Center to develop programs and events.

Campus Center Requirements

Campus Centers are design-aligned clubs that must consist of at least 10-15 IIDA Student Members. All Campus Centers must complete an IIDA Campus Center application and return it to IIDA Headquarters with a Campus Center roster by October 1^st of every school year. Download your Campus Center Application today. Return applications to Michelle Kraker at mkraker@iida.org.

Working With Your Chapter

After your Campus Center application has been submitted to IIDA Headquarters, you will receive an email introducing you to your IIDA Chapter President and Vice President of Student Affairs. Your Chapter liaisons will prove to be valuable resources for you and your fellow students as you begin to budget and plan events for the coming year. You should send your Chapter liaison the following items:

• Campus Center Budget: this should be sent to the Chapter on a monthly basis.
• Calendar of Events: send your Chapter a brief outline of the events you have planned or want to plan for the coming month or semester.
• Campus Center Roster: sending the roster (complete with email addresses) allows the IIDA Chapter to invite you and your fellow students to Chapter networking events and programs, as well as, student-specific events.

The Chapter is your best resource as you begin to develop the structure of your Campus Center. Be sure to establish a sound relationship with your point person at the Chapter, and also determine how you should best communicate with them (in person, over the phone, via email). Find you local Chapter.

Working With IIDA Headquarters

IIDA strives to be a valuable asset to our student membership. Campus Centers provide students with the unique ability to take a leadership role within our Association. We are proud of what our Student Members accomplish, which is why we have several resources available to you:

• quad: a quarterly e-newsletter in which students can announce Campus Center events and programs.
• IIDA Student Blog: The student blog allows you to re-cap an event or share industry trends with your fellow students. To write for the blog, contact Michelle Kraker at mkraker@iida.org.

Campus Center Policies and Procedures
