Governance

The Cummings School of Architecture’s internal organization and website, PLANES, includes students comprehensively in the ongoing life and evolution of the School. Student representatives from each academic program also are members of the Cummings School of Architecture Student Council with the Deans, are part of the Cummings School of Architecture committee structure and have access to many leadership opportunities that are a significant part of the character of the School.

Student Mentoring 

Peer mentoring programs are available within each major. Supported by faculty and administrators, they are a critical component of community-building within the School.

Student Athlete Mentor Program

The Cummings School of Architecture has a specific mentorship program that is the only one of its kind in the country—the Student Athlete Mentor Program for Architecture students. Led by Melissa Hutchinson ’97, a two sport Academic All-American during her career at RWU, the program works closely with student-athletes, the athletic department and the faculty to coordinate time management and scheduling, facilitating the balance of each individual student’s academic studies and their intercollegiate athletic activities. Dean Stephen White received the University’s 2010 Peter H. Broomhead Award for creating the program.

51����National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS)

The 51���� NOMAS Chapter wants to actively notice the minority communities. They advocate for the growth and implementation of justice and equity within the architectural profession and the campus. NOMAS at 51����works as a united organization and alongside other local chapters across the country. As one of the first Rhode Island NOMA chapters, they hope to inspire the creation of other chapters within the state and region. NOMA's mission, rooted in a rich legacy of activism, is to empower our local chapters and membership to foster justice and equity in communities of color, through outreach, community advocacy, professional development and design excellence. 

Founded in 2012 through an 51����President's Inclusive Excellence Grant, the Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) connects pre-college and college students and alumni with leading faculty members and practitioners to advance educational and career potential for female students and faculty in the arts, architecture, historic reservation and construction by creating a visible network of engagement and opportunity.

The WLN hosts multiple annual events at the Cummings School of Architecture and at industry events such as ABX Boston and other gatherings in support of raising awareness, mentorship, sponsorship, support and career advancement.

The Goals of the Women's Leadership Network are to:

• Support young women in the study of architecture, historic preservation, construction or the arts
• Retain and mentor female students through their professional course of study
• Support female graduates and young professionals through career placement, advancement and satisfaction
• Attract leading female faculty and practitioners to the school

The WLN has worked on several occasions in conjunction with the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF), New York,dedicated to changing the culture of the building industry, for women, through education and research. BWAF leaders including Beverly Willis, FAIA have served as speakers and facilitators at our WLN planning efforts. The WLN meets regularly during the academic year, at Alumni and Homecoming weekends, and at professional gatherings.
