FAPA Update

Hey everyone,

This is the link for the mentoring program that I mentioned during class, this is a great opportunity to get to know a professional in the field and network for that post-graduate job. It's never too early to start networking!

Also something else I found on the site was the APA National conference student poster submittal contest at this link:

http://www.planning.org/2008conference/sessionproposal/poster.htm

This is perfect for any student doing a thesis or research project. All you have to submit by OCTOBER 16, 2007 is a proposal, so you don't even have to have it done (i.e. your thesis). One thing to think about here is that if you are presenting something the graduate school offers travel grants...so you could help fund your trip to nationals!

Finally, I keep forgetting to mention this website, but its a great resource for planners and has an extensive message board. http://www.cyburbia.org/

Don't forget to send me your research projects....
