Student Development
Through our events, partnerships and diverse members who range from Designers and Educators to Students and Marketers, we aim to educate, inspire and provide equitable opportunities to students of all ages and backgrounds.
College Ambassadors
Establish and maintain relationships with Interior Design Programs/Schools and Interior Design Student Clubs in NY. Hold fun and educational events at the design schools and assist in recruiting IIDA student members. Collaborate with other IIDA student groups and leverage committee connections to increase engagement.
Design Camp
Design Camp is committed to spreading awareness about the Interior Design profession for the next generation. Design Camp focuses on guiding and educating K-12 students who come from underrepresented backgrounds that show interests in the arts and design. Creative workshops, portfolio review and information sessions about interior design are held throughout the year.
Hazel Siegel Scholarship
Following Hazel Siegel’s passing in 2020, IIDA NY developed this program, which serves to honor her legacy. Siegel, an acclaimed textile designer and chapter member, held various leadership positions and received numerous honors over 40 years of dedicated service to the chapter. She also served as a professor of textiles at Pratt Institute for over a decade. For her commitment to the design industry, Siegel was named ICON in the industry by Interior Design Magazine’s 75th anniversary issue.
Knowledge Forum
We are a collective of passionate Interior Design students who are driven to share our knowledge and support our design student peers with their career development by providing resources and networking opportunities with industry professionals. Our goal is to serve as a link between academia and professional practice through collaborative efforts among interior design educators, practitioners and industry members.
