Main challenges? How do we reach the people and communities that could use our research/education capacity? How do we get our resources out in way that is meaningful to everybody involved? How can we maximize the impact that we are collectively making? How do we make sure our graduates will have successful careers? What should be our niche/brand? Where do our students find jobs?

How do we create a planning program that truly serves Idaho's communities? And how can we support the work that you and others are already doing?

Thank you! Jaap Vos, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Director
