In Fall 2014, a group of urban planning students at Columbia Univerity formed the UP Vision committee to undertake an evaluation of GSAPP’s urban planning program, as seen by current students. This included a student survey, several meetings with GSAPP’s dean, and a portfolio summarizing each team’s findings.

My individual contribution from the 2014-2015 academic year is highlighted below. They entail analyzing and comparing survey results about students’ perceptions of planning with the mission and implementation of the urban planning program.
