Student Planner of the Year

October 14, 2011

Jacob Kain, a URP graduate student, was recently named the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association’s Student Planner of the Year for 2011.

“I can think of no student who is more deserving of this award than Jacob,” said Ruth Steiner, associate professor of urban and regional planning. “Jacob is enthusiastic, organized, motivated, serious, detail-oriented, an effective communicator, a hard-worker, and among the most intelligent students who have gone through our planning program. While he is solid in the classroom, he is also successful in professional practice.”
