The American Planning Association - Texas Chapter Houston Section Happy Hour was a huge success! 🎉

It was amazing to see planning students and alumni from the Texas Southern University Urban Planning program come together to network, reconnect, and share great conversations (and plenty of laughs!).

Moments like these reminds us how strong and supportive our planning community truly is. Already looking forward to the next event! ✨

Last week, graduate students from the Urban Planning and Environmental Policy Program embarked on a site visit to Olivewood Cemetery, Houston's inaugural incorporated African American burial ground.

The students are currently engaged in a project aimed at supporting the descendants of Olivewood Inc. in the restoration, enhancement, and revitalization of the cemetery.

Under the guidance of Dr. Mickelson, the students observed tombstones marking the final resting places of individuals who arrived in America as slaves, as well as notable members of the Free Mason organization. Additionally, they noted burial symbols representing the Yoruba and Igbo tribes.

It is evident that Olivewood Cemetery is a repository of history, and through the diligent efforts of the UPEP Tigers, this history will endure for generations to come.

GO TIGERS!

This weekend, facility, students, and members of the Student Planning Organization from the Urban Planning and Environmental Policy program took action to protect the garden at TSU from the upcoming cold weather.

They even harvested and distributed some crops. It's great to see everyone coming together to take care of the garden! 🌱🌿🫚🥕🥦🥬
