The Consortium also seeks to highlight opportunities for teaching, publication, presentation, and research funding for its members. The CAPPA Ph.D. Consortium represents and advocates for the needs of CAPPA Ph.D. students to communicate their concerns, offer feedback to the administration, and ensure successful completion of the Ph.D. degree. The main purpose of the organization is to stimulate and peer engagement to support students through the rigorous research process. MEMBERSHIP Membership to the CAPPA Ph.D. Consortium is open to all CAPPA Ph.D. students and currently has four  active leadership positions. Leadership positions within the CAPPA Ph.D. Consortium are year-long appointments.. Elections are held in the Spring semester. ABOUT CAPPA Ph.D. Consortium began as informally organized Colloquium sessions by and for Ph.D. students in the UPPP and PAPP Ph.D. programs with the goal of driving student engagement through networking and peer-to-peer learning. Students quickly recognized that they would benefit from a platform that allows them to get involved in and learn from each other’s research activities,  enriching the doctoral research experience. In the process, students would also benefit from developing effective skills in problem-solving and insight sharing — skills that are critical but not often gained through formal teaching and independent research. 2025-2026 Officers Title Name and Email President Noah Hendrix Vice President Luis Macias Barrientos Communications Liaison Cheryl Donaldson Treasurer Vanessa Delgado Overview Overview American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Interior Design Student Group (IDSG) Latinos In Architecture (LiA) National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) PhD Consortium Student Planning Association (SPA) Tau Sigma Delta Walkable Arlington Woman's Transportation Seminar (WTS) Student Employment Student Accolades Overview ARCH 1342 Wheat ARCH 2551 Boswell ARCH 3554 Nason ARCH 3554 Youssefzadeh ARCH 4557 MacBride ARCH 4557 Rusher Graduate Work Overview ARCH 5594 Faruqui + Dang ARCH 5670 Jeong ARCH 5672 Farqui + Dang Bridge Design Competition CAPPA 10 Logo Competition Graduate Assistantships Study Abroad Visiting Scholar Program Career Fair Address College of Architecture, Planning and Public Affairs 601 W.
