Student Planning Organization (SPO)

Welcome to the Student Planning Organization of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

SPO's mission is to provide a vehicle for communication between staff, faculty and students in the planning program, provide forums for workshops and discussions, and organize social events for the department.

SPO is a student run organization that focuses on student needs. If you are interested in coming to Illinois as an undergrad or graduate student, we want to help!

For more information about the SPO, including bylaws and meeting mintues, check out the DURP student wiki
