Planning the Future, Pirate Style – ECU at NPC25

Fourteen SPAN members–both undergraduates and graduate students–attended the 2025 National American Planning Association Conference (NPC25) in Denver, Colorado, from March 29 to April 1, 2025. The trip was organized by the SPAN Officers, Cooper Hilbert (President), William Lowery (Vice President), Bryani Pitts (Treasurer), Vanessa Boateng (Social Media Coordinator), and Kaylie Williams (Secretary). We are truly grateful for the generosity of our alumni, friends, and family. A big thanks to the ECU Student Government Association and the UNC Association of Student Governments for the financial support! 

Students who attended the APA Conference in Denver, CO., were Vanessa Boateng, Catherine Gailey, Caramia Landis, Kaylie Williams, Will Lowery, Yadiel Reyes Cruz, Rose Bogue, Reese Frazier, Lauryn Strothers, Bryani Pitts, Cooper Hilbert, Jordan Kearney, Kylie Tannenbaum, and Sam McCormack.
