This semester, the Department of City and Regional Planning is kicking off a new event series. The Student Research Seminar Series gives a few students each month an opportunity to present on a research project they’re working on. Recognizing that good research requires a team effort, these seminars give students a chance to solicit feedback and advice on their work, while also practicing their presentation skills.

To get a taste of what our students have been up to, here is the schedule for this semester. If you happen to find yourself in New East 101, be sure to join and support the exciting research efforts of our students!
