Our council of Studio Representatives is made up of two students representing each studio section, from ARCH 121 through Master of Architecture studios, led by our Communications/Student Body Liaison Graduate Assistants. Membership rotates each term based on enrollment in studio classes. The council members meet weekly to discuss issues, concerns, questions, and ideas on behalf of their fellow studio classmates, and the Communications GA share pertinent issues and questions with the School Director and staff as needed. Similarly, the School Director and staff share news, updates, and procedural information with the Communications GA to pass on to the Studio Representatives, who then share that information with their classmates. The intention is to create a structure that encourages the free flow of information, concerns, and solutions between the students and the School administrators.
Students are encouraged to join the Studio Representatives Council. If you would like to volunteer or have questions, please contact the Communications GA (Isabella Thomas, ict@pdx.edu) to discuss how you can get involved.
