Join fellow emerging professionals for a Collaborative Study Session focused on the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). This is a casual, supportive space to stay accountable, share resources, work through challenging topics, and learn from one another’s experiences across divisions. Whether you’re just getting started or deep into your exams, all are welcome.
Bring your study materials, questions, and insights - we’ll tackle content together, exchange tips, and build momentum toward licensure as a community.
This session will be guided by three recently licensed architects that serve on AIA Chesapeake Bay's Board of Directors: Kelly Valin, AIA, Michael Vesely, AIA, and Jacob Browning, AIA. Each has successfully navigated the ARE and brings a valuable perspective to the process. Together they will be offering insight into balancing exam prep with day-to-day project responsibilities and they’ll share practical strategies, lessons learned, and real-world advice to help you stay focused and move forward with confidence on your path to licensure.
A virtual option is available though we highly encourage in person participation!
