Urban Planning General Fund 

You do so much for us, including serving as guest speakers in our classes, participating on juries, and hiring our students as interns and employees. We appreciate you!  Your financial gifts support initiatives like student travel, studio supplies (we supply the expensive markers!), hospitality, guest lectures, and marketing and promoting the department. Once again, we'll be giving away a puzzle made from Prof. Deeg's artwork. Everyone who comments on any of our social media posts on One Ball State Day will be entered in the drawing!

Give us a Chirp! Chirp! Or share your favorite memory to join in the fun!
