Coffee with Fellows is a bi-monthly series centered around a conversation between one Fellow and one emerging professional, interviewing each other. The podcast-like format allows for the inviting conversation to be live, recorded, and archived as a library of multigenerational design professionals.

The series was a response to two challenges in our design community. First, it fulfilled a specific goal in AIA Cleveland's 2019-2023 Strategic Plan: "Activate the Fellows". More importantly, it sought to uplift and connect our design community during the pandemic lockdown.

Coffee with Fellows has twice earned the competitive Emerging Professionals Grant from the AIA National College of Fellows, allowing wider participation and reach beyond Ohio. AIA National's Young Architect's Forum (YAF) has featured the program in their publication, Connection, positioning the series as an easily adaptable model for mentorship and storytelling for AIA chapters nationwide.
