We are pleased to release our Spring Lunch with a Practitioner Series lineup.  The Lunch with Practitioner series was launched in Spring 2015 with the goal of providing a forum for students to meet and learn from practitioners throughout the transportation industry, from recent graduates through senior professionals, from planning and engineering, and from both the the public and private sectors. Our past events have featured speakers with backgrounds in construction management, urban planning, and transportation engineering, just to name a few. To check out the photo album for our past events, please visit here.
