Inside SCI-Arc

Alumni Association


The creative impact of SCI-Arc alumni is found all over the world, in a variety of fields, in innovative designs, products, and publications. While most SCI-Arc graduates work in architectural firms or in private practice, many excel in a range of other fields including multimedia, teaching, exhibition design, film and set design, architectural photography, retail design, public art, publishing, community development and planning, writing and research, landscape design, furniture design, and graphic and product design.

SCI-Arc alumni maintain a strong relationship with the school through the Alumni Association. Established in 1998, the association works to identify and meet the needs of the alumni, and to serve the larger interests of the school. The Alumni Association seeks to build the alumni community, to promote the work of alumni, to educate alumni and current students, and to support SCI-Arc. Among the association's various activities and projects are alumni-driven publications; the establishment of the SCI-Arc Alumni Association Scholarship Fund, which awards two scholarships each year (one to an undergraduate and one to a graduate student); the production of the Main Event scholarship fundraiser; the sponsorship of an alumni lecturer in the SCI-Arc lecture series; a career open house for alumni firms interested in hiring SCI-Arc graduates; and regular friend-raising and networking events, including the Moveable Feast, designed to bring the alumni community together.

The Alumni Association also works closely with SCI-Arc to maintain an updated database of alumni contact information, so that both the school and the association can remain in close contact with alumni as they pursue their careers all over the world.

Alumni can update their contact information at online.sciarc.edu. You will need your student ID number and password to access your file. If you have trouble logging in, please call the alumni office.
