COMMITTEES
Our chapter is composed of several standing committees, each responsible for a critical aspect of our operations and open to any general members interested in joining. Each committee is headed by a Director and Coordinator, who both serve on the chapter Board of Directors.
Committee Meetings are held on a bi-weekly basis during the semester, typically on Wednesdays at 3:00pm in Elly's Loft/Webex. Look for a link on our Instagram, @AIASNJIT. All are welcome!

COMMUNICATIONS
COMMUNICATIONS
​
The Communications Committee is responsible for all of the chapter's public relations and graphic materials. Overall, any NJIT student’s perception of AIAS NJIT depends upon the work of the Communications Committee. Any article of AIAS NJIT communication, print or electronic, that any student, faculty, or administrator in the Hillier College of Architecture and Design, AIAS member or non-member, may see regarding AIAS Membership and events (upcoming or recently past) are from or passed through this committee. It is also responsible for the chapter's website and social media presence.
