Spotlight on Research: Geography and Planning Show & Tell

The Department of Geography and Planning hosted its second annual Show & Tell departmental conference on March 15. Show & Tell is a mini-conference that allows departmental faculty, students and recent graduates the chance to present past, current, or future research, or simply to attend and learn more about the research happening in our department. A huge thank you to all the presenters who showcased their work, and a special thanks to Mike Lawler for organizing this event!
