"Paul's Corner"
STUDENT ADVISOR and EDI COORDINATOR
Paul DeLave’s primary role is to be not only another communication tool (besides personal communication, emails and the Student Senate) between the students and the school administration and staff, but to be an adviser for students as well.
He is open to try and support you and the school in any way possible- by listening to comments or complaints and by acting as a mediator, offering advice on how to handle academic situations, to share thoughts on architectural education and practice and other topics. He is pleased to speak with any and all of you, to hear your suggestions on how to keep ARCHIP growing and improving.
He has been teaching students of design and architecture for over ten years, as well as being an administrator, and a practicing architect, so he can offer perspective from many sides.
Paul tries his best to be an advocate for students.
