Students and NOMAs Student Chapters

National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAs)

NOMAColumbus is proud to support and work amongst some of the industry’s brightest minds and future architects and designers! Our professional chapter embraces the opportunity to foster an environment that encourages collaboration and professional development amongst students and design professionals.

Our NOMAs student chapters are integral in NOMA’s mission towards fostering diversity, equity and inclusion within education and the design industry. Below are the current NOMAs chapters that NOMAColumbus supports and engages with The Ohio State University OSU NOMAs and Bowling Green State University NOMAs students.

In diversity there is beauty AND there is strength.
