WE ARE AIAS.
AIAS Illinois is an independent, nonprofit, student-run organization at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign dedicated to providing unmatched programs, information, and resources on issues critical to architectural education. The mission of the AIAS is to promote excellence in architectural education, training, and practice; to foster an appreciate of architecture and related disciplines; to enrich communities in a spirit of collaboration; and to organize students and combine their efforts to advance the art and science of architecture.

At the local level, the purpose of the AIAS is to bring architecture students at UIUC together in fellowship; to facilitate communication between members, the faculty, and the administration at the ISoA; to provide supplemental services to aid students in their education; to serve as a link between AIAS members, the Illinois Chapter of the AIA, Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Young Architects Forum, and the University of Illinois School of Architecture Alumni Association, and the regional and national organization of AIAS at the national level.
To promote excellence in architecture education, training, and practice.
We celebrate our membership in several ways. Members of the AIAS have the opportunity to have their work published in CRIT: The Journal of the AIAS–the only international journal devoted to the work and critical thoughts of architecture students.

To foster an appreciation of architecture and related disciplines.
We host an annual convention, FORUM, which provides students with the opportunity to learn about the issues facing architectural education and the profession, to meet students and professionals with common interests, and to interact with some of today's leading architects and designers.
