Educating the next generation of placemakers through practicum-based learning, and research.

We had an amazing turnout last week for Drawing with Developers! Special thanks to Jeremy Leonard for leading the workshop and to all who attended. We loved seeing everyone`s sketches and hope the tips and techniques shared will help you going forward.

What does the future of outdoor recreation look like for the Town of Edenton NC?

Our Pappas Program CORE (Creating Outdoor Recreation Economies) Research Team had the privilege of working alongside the Town of Edenton to envision the future of a 320-acre property directly adjacent to the town. By weaving together Edenton’s rich history, natural landscape, and future growth, we developed two master plan concepts that balance recreation with environmental conservation.
