On March 19th and 20th, CSPDC staff members Garreth Bartholomew, Danielle Gannon, Elizabeth Goodloe, and Rachel Kinzer, attended a Mary Baldwin University All Majors Career Fair to interact with the students and tell them about the work of the CSPDC and what it is like to be a regional planner. A variety of employers were present at the fair including city and county police departments, educational entities, community organizations, radio, architecture companies, as well as companies and organizations from other disciplines. The CSPDC spoke with many students at different stages in their college career. While MBU does not have a planning program, many students were interested in the work of the CSPDC and a few students could see how their major could fit into a planning career. It was a great event to connect with the community and engage in conversation about how the area can come together and inspire future graduates to explore careers in the planning field.
