Join us at the Academy and Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s Loft to participate in a radical brainstorming exercise, followed by networking with built-environment professionals working as urban planners, developers, engineers, and more.

Get ready to embrace creativity and brainstorming and chat with Terps in your field. There will be food, drinks and plenty of conversation to be had. Please bring business cards. There will be opportunities to indicate whether you are looking for a job, hiring, seeking mentorship, or able to mentor, should you choose to participate in that.
