CIT Program

The CIT program is an opportunity for high school students, in grades 9-12, to continue their architectural education, gain leadership skills and learn from professional architects, engineers, and designers. Counselors will make their own final project to present and receive feedback.  

Successful CITs will leave the program with strong leadership skills and a better understanding of architecture. CITs assist in creating ice-breaker activities, student check-in, chaperone field trips, crowd management, set-up, clean-up and help plan the end of the week presentation.
