April Confluence: A CEU Practitioner-Student Event

April Confluence: A CEU Practitioner-Student Event

Welcome to the April Confluence event! It's a chance for our professional community to earn two LU/HSW CEUs by attending the two CEU scheduled sessions and- between CEU sessions- to interact and mentor CCD architecture students in micro-charrettes.

Our students will attend the CEU presentations alongside you and will engage you in one-on-one mentoring between sessions around their current projects, assignments, or simply career insights for which they desire your advice and mentoring.

We've arranged the sessions so that attending professionals can participate in a choice between two presentations at each of two CEU Sessions as your schedule permits. We are providing the venue and the opportunity and our excellent CEU providers are providing the knowledge; and your willingness to pay your experience and insights forward with our students will make invaluable contributions to their architectural education.

We're working to create a truly meaningful way to connect professionals with students in a way that provides value for both.

We hope you and your colleagues might plan to set aside some time that first Friday in April to come to campus and help us create a truly unique and memorable event!
