There are a few happenings going on in at the WAAC this weekend. The one that directly involves me is the Virginia AIA Student Design Competition.

The other event at the WAAC this weekend is the P.H.D. Symposium. It is a weeklong event of students from universities all around the country presenting dissertations.
