A University of Central Florida student organization, has become non profit in 2018. It not only foc

The goals of this organization are to connect students, faculty and professionals to create networking for emerging urban planners. We wish to network with planners all over Central Florida, providing advice, expertise, and career opportunities for Urban and Regional Planning students at UCF. This will create a mentor relationship between the students and planning professionals. We wish to get involved in conferences, lecture series, and events that are taking place in Central Florida and encourage our members to attend these activities. Lastly, we wish to provide resources and activities for students currently engaged or interested in joining the UCF Urban Planning program.
