Best way to celebrate (nearly) two months at a new job? Host an open house event, of course! If you're local to the DFW area and have anything to say about regional advancement, resilience and/or education- I want to meet you, talk to you, and find out how we can work together! Plus you'll get to enjoy some nice refreshments- who could ask for more?! Looking forward! RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gM3UPMqS

Jenifer will present her research plan proposal focused on building an assessment framework for manufactured housing attainability. Pia's work focuses on two key aspects of creating child-friendly neighborhoods: urban design strategies for developing physical environments that promote children's well-being and the engagement of community-based organizations (CBOs) in the planning process. A job well done! 👏 #ACSP2024 #DoctoralWorkshop #ResearchPresentation

#throwbacktuesday At Park(ing) Day, the Student Planning Association (SPA) and Black Student Designers Association (BSDA) organized an engaging activity called "Place it," based on an idea by urban planner and author James Rojas. Participants, including students and faculty, were tasked with designing their dream city or community using materials like wooden blocks and craft sticks. After creating their models, they explained their concepts and displayed them for others to critique using sticky notes. What a cool activity to explore people's values and perceptions of their communities, allowing for creative and open-ended expression.
