CRP/GSA
The Community and Regional Planning Graduate
Students Association is a place for dialogue. Recognizing
that planning is a group process, the CRP/GSA operates with
a coordinating committee rather than a traditional board
structure. All members share responsibility for the
functioning of the organization. The CRP/GSA offers
opportunities for mutual support through meetings, projects,
workshops, involvement in the community, and connections
with the greater university. The CRP/GSA seeks to develop
professional planning skills, principally by the action
agendas that arise from the studentıs own diverse academic
and professional needs. |

PILA
The purpose of Planners in Latin America (PILA) is to
advocate on behalf of students whose interests lie in the
area of Latin American Studies and Planning. PILA brings

exchanging ideas by encouraging presentations of their
research and experiences. PILA organizes and promotes events
relating to planning in Latin America. PILA is a planning
resource for information including academic journals,
current job openings, and career opportunities. The
organization seeks to network with others who can offer
support and expertise for students making the transition
from academics to the work setting. |

dissemination. The organization contributes to policy
debates and decisions through analysis and recommendations
for alternative strategies. |

STUDENT APA
SAAP maintains a student chapter of the American
Planning Association (APA). This organization provides a
forum for students to exchange ideas and information with
local and regional professional planners and offers
opportunities to make their first professional contacts.
Being a member of the UNM chapter of the APA allows graduate
students to receive the New Planner newsletter. The Chapter,
in cooperation with the New Mexico APA, receives valuable
help in preparing for the AICP exam. Full time students at
UNM are encouraged to join the APA with full privileges at
reduced membership dues.
