Planned and developed properly, the transformation will break down Northside\u2019s historic race and class divide to become a great urban street whose assets and attractions provide a common ground for sharing the strengths of diverse populations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECampbell\u0027s studio, supervised by Larry Keating, investigated potential impacts and adaptation opportunities of sea level rise for three counties along the Georgia coast: Chatham, Liberty, and McIntosh.

I commend the students for all of their hard work.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe outstanding student project awards are selected based upon a partnership between the GPA and the Michigan APA chapter. Georgia award nominations were sent to the Michigan chapter awards committee where they were reviewed and assessed. The Michigan APA chapter then makes recommendations to the Georgia chapter awards committee which in turn makes recommendations to the Michigan chapter awards committee on student projects in the Great Lake state. Any questions are clarified in a final conference call and the awards are then announced.\u003C\/p\u003ENorthside Drive Studio Team:\u0026nbsp;Anders, Joel;\u0026nbsp;Bedward, Tanya;\u0026nbsp;Brodie, Stefanie;\u0026nbsp;Cardoni, Lauren;\u0026nbsp;Carragher, Margaret;\u0026nbsp;Cox, Rachel;\u0026nbsp;Gooze, Aaron;\u0026nbsp;Hyer, Garrett;\u0026nbsp;Ingles, Amy;\u0026nbsp;Kalinke, Lydia;\u0026nbsp;Levin, Josh;\u0026nbsp;McColley, Sarah;\u0026nbsp;Phillips, Eric;\u0026nbsp;Reed, Landon;\u0026nbsp;Wong, James;\u0026nbsp;Zhang, Wenwen;\u0026nbsp;Alhadeff, Daniel;\u0026nbsp;Ward, Elizabeth + Guanying Li (Graduate Research Assistant)\u0026nbsp;Sea Level Rise Studio Team:\u0026nbsp;Campbell, Gillam;\u0026nbsp;Clermont, Marvin;\u0026nbsp;Colberg, Kathry\u0026nbsp;;\u0026nbsp;Gosman, Richelle;\u0026nbsp;Harkness, Anna Rose;\u0026nbsp;Moore Hugens, Amy;\u0026nbsp;Lorenc, Paul;\u0026nbsp;Nguyen, Dzung;\u0026nbsp;Yun, Jennifer;\u0026nbsp;Zhou, Joy + Dana Habeeb (Co-instructor)","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAt the recent Georgia Planning Association conference on Jekyll Island, School of City and Regional Planning students Garrett Hyer and Gillam Campbell accepted Outstanding Student Project Awards\u0026nbsp;on behalf of their studios.
