You can view student work from previous years on the SciVee web site (the Youtube of Science), where students share their posters in three minute multimedia video vignettes: click here to access the SciVee Senior Sequence Community.     This year’s seventy seniors worked, researched, and wrote on a broad range of subjects including Architecture and Urban Design; Community and Economic Development; Environment; Housing; Public Health, Safety and Welfare; Transportation Planning; Tribal Policy and Planning; Urban and Regional Planning; and US-Mexico Border Planning.  Our internships included placements at government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private sector companies.
