• Collaborate with architects, designers, project managers, and consultants while receiving mentorship and feedback.

• Explore a variety of project types and discover areas of architecture that interest you most.

• Build your professional network through community service, team events, Lunch & Learns, Forum presentations, and other Corgan activities.

Additional Requirements
