 Make your 'people' page!
We would like all current MRP students to have a profile on this website so we get all of our students some exposure on the web, associate them with an impressive accredited graduate program, and so that you can have a place to show off your credentials with future employers.
 
Instructions: check out the sample profiles we produced on the people page.  Write your own version, writing in the 3rd person and keeping the topics as close to planning, urban design, environmentalism, etc as possible, however make your interests seem well rounded.  This is NOT meant to be just a copy of your resume, so don't put any "experience" or jobs that you don't think can be related to planning.
 
Fill this out and hand it in at the next GPSA meeting or E-mail a copy in Word or PDF to timothy.malone AT gmail.com with an appropriate photo of you (I can shrink & crop).
