So glad our Eastern Oregon University student interns could attend this event for the first time! And we got to see a friend from Portland State University who attended the two universities' joint course last spring, Urban Rural Ambassadors.
Student Planning Day ???? Today we hosted graduate students from Eastern Oregon University, University of Oregon, and Portland State University's planning programs in our Salem office. Student Planning Day is an annual event for students to learn more about DLCD and Oregon's land use planning system. Deputy Director Kirstin Greene and Planning Services Division Manager Matthew Crall gave an overview of DLCD's work and the history of land use planning in Oregon. At DLCD, we strive to?help communities plan for, protect, and improve the built and natural systems that provide a high quality of life. In partnership with local governments and community members, we foster sustainable and vibrant communities and protect our natural resources legacy. Thank you to DLCD staff Eva Krukowski, Hui Rodomsky, Nicole Cross, and Kieran Turnbull for sharing your stories and current projects. It was great seeing students engage with each other and staff. Here is to the next generation of Oregon's land use planners!
