Women in Planning and Public Affairs

If you are interested in keeping up with Women in Planning and Public Affairs (WPPA) throughout the year, subscribe to our bimonthly newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/hIdUq9

WPPA is a space for activist urban planners and public affairs students to explore how women and gender non-conforming people are particularly and uniquely impacted by a variety of planning and public policy issues. The group will also actively seek to elevate and encourage women and gender non-conforming people in the planning, public affairs, development, and design professions.
