We take some time during all district Design Dialogue Conferences to bring together all student members and professionals who can offer advice. This meeting is referred to as the student chapter officer orientation meeting (SCOOPs) and serves to bring ideas together to provide more benefit and event success to student chapters.

While all student officers should attend the SCOOPs meeting, all student members are encouraged to join, especially if you plan to be a student officer in the futue. Please contact your Faculty Advisor for more information.
