“As I pursue my Master’s degree in urban planning, APTA has been there to help me pay for school and expand my professional network. I enjoyed going to APTA’s conference in 2022 and look forward to upcoming conferences which, as a student, are free for me to attend. Joining APTA was a great decision and I recommend joining today in order to take advantage of the scholarship, mentorship, and job placement opportunities.” | |
