Our new incoming students recently took a moment to follow our tradition and pose for a group picture, even though it couldn't be in our beloved drafting room. This is the first year our school is offering two master's degrees. In addition to urban planning, we now offer a degree in public affairs and the inaugural class pursuing this degree is composed of eight students. Incoming students this year, from both degrees, include those who completed their undergraduate educations as far away as Sudan and Ghana. Closer to home are students from California, Illinois and Iowa.
