nomas student outreach
The mission of the nycoba|NOMA NOMAS Student Outreach Committee is to connect with local and state NOMAS Chapters to provide support, fellowship, and opportunities.
OUR GOALS
I. Collaboration
-
Foster an environment that encourages collaboration among students within the studio. Promote teamwork, peer learning, and the exchange of ideas and skills.
-
Organize group projects or mini-design competitions that require students to work together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and collaboration across schools.
-
Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration by connecting architecture students with students from other fields such as engineering, urban planning, or design.
-
Extend collaboration beyond the studio by organizing joint events or projects with other educational institutions, professional organizations, or local communities. This provides students with opportunities to engage with a wider network and learn from diverse perspectives.

Guide mentors on how to support and guide their mentees, focusing on both personal and professional development.
