Students in the Regional and City Planning (RCPL) course entitled “Planning with Diverse Communities,” recently collected more than 800 signatures from people who pledged to fill out the 2020 Census. Due to COVID-19, individuals have until September 30, 2020 to fill out their Census and help to get an accurate count of Norman and the Oklahoma region.
The pledge drive was organized by RCPL assistant professor Dr. C. Aujean Lee and English faculty member Dr. Gabi Rios as a way for students to engage their communities on this important topic.
