Digital Assistant Program

What is the Digital Assistant Program?

Digital Assistants (DAs) are Architecture students who are experienced in using various digital design programs to produce high quality work. 

The goal of the DA Program is to increase digital design literacy within the College by providing assistance to instructors and students. The Digital Assistants work on several tasks, such as working with faculty to conduct brief tutorials in digital design applications, and updating our tutorial page.

DAs are hired on a single-semester or two-semester basis, for appointments that approximate 10 hours of work per week. DAs meet regularly with the Program Coordinator (Mike Christenson) for updates and assignments.
