RE: Student seeks grad school advice
Timothy Beatley at the University of Virginia does this sort of work and is a great mentor - my wife studied with him. He's the "Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities" in UVA's Department of Urban and Environmental Planning. Cheers, Rich -- Richard L.

He wants to pursue a Master's in Urban/Regional Policy and Planning. Here is his description of his career goals: Aging and housing issues regarding the Baby Boomers is something I want to work towards addressing. Additionally I am also interested in "green" sustainable property development. I figure down the road I would possibly like to establish a sort of sustainable and affordable aging community, or a model for one, at least. I'm working in property development right now, but am really attracted to green development ideas. He's currently in Boston, but willing to relocate as needed. He finished with a 3.5 GPA--he wasn't an out-and-out fireball, but he was certainly a very bright and diligent student, and a really nice guy. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks, Rob Assistant Professor of Political Science Associate Director of the Honors Program University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

Two best places might just be right here in town: 1) MIT's Department of URban Studies and Planning, 2) Tufts University's Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning kg Robert Darst wrote: Hi all, A former student recently wrote seeking grad school advice.
