Join us for the inaugural Open Door Mentor Firm Fair, a new opportunity to connect, learn, and explore pathways into the architecture profession. This event brings together students and over 10 firms based in New York City and representing a range of sizes and practice types. As part of the Open Door Mentor program, the Firm Fair invites current mentors and firm leaders to engage directly with college and university students in an informal, conversational setting. Attendees will gain insight into firm culture, career pathways, and the realities of transitioning from academia into professional practice, while having the chance to ask questions and build meaningful connections.

The Open Door Mentor initiative at AIA New York is designed to support students and emerging professionals as they navigate the often challenging shift into the field. By pairing participants with mentors, the program helps bridge gaps between academic learning and practice through guidance on portfolios, interviews, workplace expectations, and more. Whether you’re preparing to enter the workforce or looking to better understand the profession, the Firm Fair offers a valuable space to connect with peers and professionals who are eager to share their experiences and advice.

Light refreshments will be served.
