On March 30, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning held their awards ceremony at Leonardo’s 706.

The attendees also were joined by virtual participants, as the awards ceremony was streamed online. This allowed online students to attend the ceremony, reinforcing that, while not physically here, they are still part of the DCP family. 

By using a program called “Zoom,” a student streamed in from Virginia while another student checked in on the proceedings all the way from Shanghai, China.

Everyone enjoyed great food and each other’s company while celebrating the evening’s award winners:
