Our Challenge

Planning is about change-promoting it, managing it, and adopting to it. We challenge students to make the world a better place. This requires a commitment to learning and discovery, and to working within organizations and complex systems that are often resistant to change. In turn, we challenge ourselves and our students to practice what we teach through a continuous process of improving the quality of our program. What follows are challenges put forth by the UAP community.
