A new interior design club offers students the opportunity to hone their design skills. Interior design student Juliette Mitchell organized an effort for accredited association with the American Society of Interior Designers. The result is the formation of an ASID student chapter on campus this fall. "ASID is a great mentoring situation," Mitchell said. "It's set up for students to meet professionals in the field." Aside from networking with pros, activities provide support for a designer's individual practice, education, community service projects, marketing and industry relations according to ASID. · "Students can intern with a firm, a theme park or kitchen designer," said Mitchell. In interviewing for a job Mitchell recalls being one of four finalists. The distinction of being an ASID member, she feels, got her the job. "It was hard to get a chapter at school and to meet all the eligibility requirements. I really wanted to start one," Mitchell said. The process took about a year of review by the San Diego professional chapter and the Department of Education to grant a student chapter at Palomar. The award letter was received this summer. The new ASID chapter met to establish goals on September 17. Former Palomar College student Stephanie Matthews, President of the San Diego ASID professional chapter, was the guest speaker. At least 20 interior design students received applications to join the ASID student membership for a $35.00 fee. An individual membership, although discounted, would cost $250. 111
