Student Chapters

Students are encouraged to join or establish a local student chapter at their school. Student Chapters help facilitate working closely with DBIA national and regions to gain a competitive advantage and foster interdisciplinary education within the university. Members of a Student Chapter are automatically members of DBIA National for free.

Engage in student volunteer programs at conferences, participate in an annual Career Expo and Mixer with on-the-spot interviews with leading firms, and gain exposure to industry leaders and projects that exemplify Design-Build Done Right®. 

Learn everything you need to know about DBIA Student Chapters with the Student Handbook and Student Constitution.
