Mission
The Urban Planning Student Association (UPSA) is a student-run organization whose mission is to help students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of various planning issues. We provide quality lectures and programming which reflect the interests of students while introducing them to new ideas. UPSA also strives to improve and raise the profile of Wagner's Urban Planning Program within the school and among other planning schools. UPSA welcomes all students to participate in the organization, and seeks to collaborate with other student groups to provide the best possible opportunities for all Wagner students.

Group Goals:
1. Build community within the Urban Planning program and within Wagner, and build relationships with other organizations within NYU.
2. Build a relationship with the professional planning community through alumni networking events, career development seminars with practitioners, and active membership in local, national and international professional associations.
3. Challenge Wagner students to think critically about planning issues by organizing lectures and roundtable discussions.
4. Serve as a liaison between the planning student body and program administrators to communicate student concerns and needs.
5. Connect with other student planning organizations in New York City in order to stay informed of and leverage all opportunities available to planning students.
6. Raise the profile of the Urban Planning Program at Wagner and within the greater academic community.
