Through high-impact educational programs, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning prepares planning and design practitioners, scholars, and civic leaders to build healthy and sustainable communities and advance the ideals of resilience, innovation, forward-thinking, economic opportunity, and public service. Our research bridges theory and practice, integrating emerging technologies, innovative design, regulatory expertise, and evidence-based solutions to inform strategic planning for the built environment.
Inspired by the leadership of John DeGrove – former Urban and Regional Planning Chair at Florida Atlantic, and fixture of Florida’s foundational environmental and growth management laws – we look to support the next the next generation of planning professionals while honoring DeGrove’s life of service.
There could be no more fitting memorial to John DeGrove’s influence on urban and regional planning than to support scholarships for the planners of tomorrow.
