Outreach posters have arrived hot off the presses of Hatch Show Print!

The Outreach Program is a way for students and collaborators from outside Auburn University to be a part of Rural Studio. The program begins in August 2016 and is a year long course of study in which participants will design and build a 20K House. If you’re interested, we encourage you to apply! Additional information can be found by visiting www.ruralstudio.org and clicking the tab “Get Involved”. 

Applications are open to all and are due January 5, 2016.
