The Utah Planning Student Organization (UPSO) is the Utah student chapter of the American Planning Association.
Student Membership in the APA
Student members of APA receive all the benefits of membership at a special dues rate. Students are active in chapters, participate in APA governance through the Student Representatives Council, and meet and exchange ideas on campuses through Planning Student Organizations.
Though not required we highly recommend that all urban planning students become members of the American Planning Association so as to take full advantage of all the benefits that come from such. Please click here to find out more about how to become a student member of the APA.
PSOs are student organizations of 10 or more APA Student Members. They are intended to help develop strong working relationships between students and their respective Chapters, and to foster a sense of community between planning students nationally and even internationally.
PSOs also provide an organizational structure through which students can make their needs and concerns known to APA National, and provide a framework through which they can address their respective academic departments.
