COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
|
Eleven students in the MCRP Program and four Community and Regional Planning faculty members attended the 2019 Nebraska Planning Conference in Kearney, Nebraska, last week. Also attending the conference on the opening day was Dean Katherine Ankerson, who co-hosted, with the Emerging Planners Group of the Nebraska Chapter of the American Planning Association, a social gathering that attracted the UNL student conference attendees, as well as several Nebraska practicing planners, many of them UNL MCRP alumni. The gathering was an excellent networking opportunity for the planning students.

We are lucky to have Sherri Privitera, principal of Populous, visit us for Alumni Masters Week. Populous is a global design firm, spanning four continents, and specializing in the design of different kinds of sports facilities. Privitera’s love of sports was certainly a major factor in her decision to join Populous many years ago. Since then, she has risen through the ranks of this international firm.
Last week, Privitera spoke with our students in studio groups and one-on-one, sharing her experiences, offering her insight into the profession of architecture, from marketing to RFQs, client relationships, networking and professional collaborations and advising individual students on their Skype interviews with Populous.
