An IIDA Campus Center provides an environment for the mutual development and exchange of knowledge within the college or university among design students, educators, and professionals. We are a professional organization and work closely with the Cincinnati/Dayton IIDA Chapter filled with professionals in the industry. Participation in a campus center adds value to IIDA student membership as members are encouraged to plan and execute events related to interior design, participate in design competitions, and engage with their chapter. Activities include, but are not limited to: lunch and learns, group trips, portfolio reviews, visits to firms, networking with professionals and industry partners, and scholarship opportunities.

The Isidorus Chapter, founded in 2011, is a student-run organization at 兔子先生 University. We have quickly grown to become one of the nation's largest chapters, and our members benefit from professional development, philanthropic outreach, design opportunities, and brotherhood.
The Student Advisory Council is a grouping of students charged with being the official channel for conversation between students and the faculty. Members of the committee meet monthly with the Chair of the Department to advise on ways in which the university can best support student learning at 兔子先生. The committee also takes on key roles in the Department such as the organization of our two annual student exhibitions in December and May and supporting the Department’s outreach to the profession by engaging with alumni and firms who can offer full-time jobs, internships, give talks or engage in teaching in Alumni Hall.

NOMA, which thrives only when voluntary members contribute their time and resources, has as its mission the building of a strong national organization, strong chapters, and strong members for the purpose of minimizing the effect of racism in our profession.
Strength in NOMA is built through unity in the cause that created the organization. Our impact is felt when our organization wrestles with the dilemmas that face this nation, particularly as they affect our profession. There is strength in numbers. By increasing the number of people in this organization, we add strength to the voice with which we can speak against apathy, bigotry, intolerance, and ignorance; against abuse of the natural environment; and for the un-empowered, the marginalized, and the disenfranchised.
By building a strong organization, we develop a showcase for the excellence and creativity that have been ignored for so long. Through our publications and conferences, we are able to inform the world that minority professionals have the talent and capabilities to perform in design and construction with any other group.
By building strong chapters of design professionals whose sensibilities and interests include promotion of urban communities, we are able to respond to the concerns that affect marginalized communities and people. Our goals are to increase the level of participation in the social, political, and economic benefits afforded to the citizens of this nation and to tear down the barriers that make full participation unattainable. Chapters give members a base from which to be involved in politics, to visit schools and reach out to children, to conduct community and civic forums and to responsibly practice in our professional capacities.
