The goal of Iowa State's Community & Regional Planning Clubs is to provide an avenue for students to learn more about the field of urban, community, and regional planning. Each club typically offers special educational, networking, and career development opportunities such as traveling to planning offices, arranging for guest speakers on urban topics, and attending planning conferences.
Each club is independently run by its respective members, however, because of the relatively small size of the Department of CRP, the Clubs often collaborate with one another.
