PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Founded in 1958, the USC Architectural Guild provides guidance and insight into real-world experiences for students beyond the classroom. The Guild encourages their alumni and non-alumni members and peers – leaders in architecture, design, construction, engineering, finance, and real estate development – to give back and lead the way in career development and mentorship, scholarship and global fellowship support, and technology and material resources.

Through knowledge, networking, and know-how, the Architectural Guild enriches and amplifies the USC education, inspiring architectural students to find purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their pursuits.

Annually, the Guild raises funds and provides programs for students through activities such as the mentorship program, the Design Charrette, and Career Week. The latter offers professional development workshops and culminates in a Firm Fair, where students network and explore opportunities for internships and jobs with top local and national firms.
