Mission and Goals
Our mission at SUPO is to create an environment for anyone who is interested in urban planning to learn more about the career through hands-on experience. By going on trips, inviting guest speakers, and volunteer events, SUPO aims to go beyond the reaches of the classroom to provide a glimpse into what the field of urban geography has to offer.
