American Institute of Architecture Students(AIAS)-The FSU chapter of AIAS is a student organization focusing on topics of architecture
and facility management. Membership is open to all interested students. As a chapter
we are interested in the architectural profession and issues that concern the built
environment.

activities that directly deal with the enhancement of the built environment.
The mission of the FSU chapter of the AIAS is:
- To promote excellence in architecture education, training and practice.
- To foster an appreciation of architecture and related disciplines.
- Students attend the annual AIAS convention, FORUM, that provides the opportunity to
learn about issues facing the profession, meet students and professionals, and interact
with today's leading architects and designers.
- To enrich communities in a spirit of collaboration and service.
- Students annually spend "spring break" working with Habitat for Humanity.
