FR36 Walter Wagner Forum 2008: The Role of Architecture Schools in Service to Society 05/16/2008, 8:15 AM - 9:45 AM Learning Units: 1.50-Intermediate level Training Units: 0.00-Training Area N/A Architecture schools engage in service to society in a variety of ways. They initiate projects and programs that address social, environmental, economic, and humanitarian needs and they provide opportunities for students to become involved on their campuses and in their communities. What do architecture schools bring to the communities they serve? Do they provide designers, facilitators, or participants in a larger public process? In accordance with the convention theme "We the people," we invited students, educators and practitioners to submit papers addressing one or more of the convention sub-themes: Our Place in The World, Where we Live, Where we Work, How we come Together, and Our Place on the Land. We are delighted to announce three selected papers that will be presented in a session that will be moderated by Randy Byers, AIA, EPN 2008 Chair. We hope you will join us.
