community & regional planning student organization (crpso)

As a group, CRPSO works together to do a variety of projects, including hosting an Alumni Forum and a Career Day and working with the Career Development Coordinator to plan events. CRPSO representatives address student concerns at meetings and work to address broader student issues with program administrators and faculty. We hope you will be a part of this dialogue and make CRPSO a stronger organization.

Events

Planning Film Series — This is an event where you can watch movies that are, directly or indirectly, planning related. It's part social and part educational. Some films shown in the past were: Beyond Organic: The Vision of Fairview Gardens (2000), The City (1939), Delivered Vacant (1992), Flag Wars (2003), Moving North to Chicago (1999), The Other America (1995).

Social Events — These vary from ice skating to standard happy hours. We try to do an event ever other week. We will be taking a tour of Austin neighborhoods through various social events.

The Fourth Annual Bowl Off — The second years swept up this year- make plans for the one next year!

Intramural Sports — You will vote on the sport you want to play. Last Fall we played soccer and defeated 2 ROTC teams and made it to the Finals.

Fall and Spring Picnics — Although we get rained out more often than not, we try to host a picnic each semester for students, faculty, and families.

Networking — We are in the process of changing the system but we will make arrangements for you to meet prospective employers and talented people who work in the field of planning.

Volunteer Opportunities — Tree planting, setting up community gardens, trail clearing-you name it!
