Congratulations to our Policy Associate Wilma Mendoza for her successful research poster presentation last week through UIC Urban Public Policy Fellowship Program (UPPF).
Her research topic was- DEMOCRATIZATION OF ZONING AND LAND USE DECISIONS AS AN
ANTIDOTE TO ALDERMANIC PREROGATIVE: A CASE STUDY OF TWO WARD DEVELOPMENTS.
Her passion for Economic Justice, quest for knowledge and unwavering pursuit of community revitalization through sustainable practices makes her an amazing researcher to work with! We are so lucky to have you on our team and appreciate you.
Congratulations on graduating next week! Canโt wait to see what other projects we tackle.
