Podcast Ep 19 - Ben LeRoy, AICP

Join us as we sit down with Ben LeRoy, AICP and JD! Ben is an academic advisory and instructor at the Department of Urban & Regional Planning at the University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign with a great planning story to share. A highlight is our discussion about planning internships. Where was yours? Can you reflect on what you learned and the lessons you brought with you?

And listen for a special message at the end of the episode!

Thanks for listening in and getting to know more about urban planners in the great state of Illinois! Be sure to say hello if you see any of us at the state conference, and feel free to email the Chapter with ideas for the podcast at podcast@ilapa.org. Take care and enjoy the show!
