Dear ASID UCLA Extension Student Chapter Members:

Congratulations!  Our Chapter has been selected as the 2007-2008 ASID Outstanding Student Chapter of the Year.

Every year, ASID National Chapter in Washington, D.C. recognizes the students who have been responsible for making ASID student membership a fundamental part of the overall educational experience. The 2007-2008 ASID Student Chapter Awards recognize and applaud outstanding contributions by committed student chapter presidents, outstanding chapter members, Student Representative to the Board (SRB) and faculty advisors throughout the country.

Our chapter has been recognized for our commitment to our chapter members to provide opportunities to build relationships with design professionals, industry partners and each other.  By creating special events and bringing guest speakers that expose students to real-world aspects of the practice and profession of interior design, we became the the nation’s largest student chapter.  Our membership campaigns and extensive membership survey, our commitment to interior design legislation, our award winning website and Student Chapter News, the launch of the Green Committee, our regular coverage in ASID Student ACCESS and LA design, and your enthusiastic support for the following events are some of the reasons  we were chosen as the "2007-2008 ASID OUTSTANDING STUDENT CHAPTER."
