The Fall 2021 Lecture Series brings nationally and internationally recognized architects, academics, and allied professionals to NJIT to discuss their current work and developments in the professions of architecture and design. It is currently organized by Kelly Hutzell and John Cays and continues to bring noted guests who bring a diversity of experience and viewpoints to our students, faculty and the greater university community. Among previous guests are Thom Mayne, FAIA; Stephen Kieran, FAIA; Yeohlee Teng, Hilary Sample, William Mitchell, Bernard Tschumi, FAIA, Preston Scott Cohen, and Stan Allen, AIA. Since 2007, an endowment established with the American Institute of Architects New Jersey Chapter (AIANJ) has increased the breadth of the lecture series by allowing for the establishment of the AIANJ Endowed Lecture each April and a symposium​ each fall. 

The Hillier College Evening Lecture Series is registered with the AIA Continuing Education System (AIA/CES) and offers learning units which may be self-reported. The New Jersey School of Architecture (NJSOA) is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and is in compliance with all criteria standards.
