[Kansas Association of Planning Students (KAPS) seeks to supplement our graduate studies with speakers from other disciplines and real world experience. Our KAPS Brown Bag Speaker Series brings experts from disciplines outside planning or with hands-on planning experience to augment the classroom instruction we gain from our courses.

While we hope the topics will be of particular interest to the study of urban planning featured topics will focus on issues of importance across a number of fields of study. We encourage anyone interested in the topic of the day to join us in Marvin Hall to listen and take part in discussion with these experts ]
