What is WUPA?
The Wisconsin Urban Planning Association (WUPA) is a social and professional organization for all students interested in urban planning topics such as architecture, sociology, sustainability, and more. WUPA provides opportunities for students to engage in social events, professional development, and making deeper connections with DPLA faculty. The organization serves as a great place for building community within a growing field on campus. All interested undergraduate students are welcome to attend WUPA meetings, which are held regularly during the fall and spring semesters.
