I am a graduate student at the University of Oklahoma Urban Design Studio. For my final year at the studio I am working on my professional project titled, Maintaining Small Town Character Through Adaptive Rural Communities. This blog is to document my project at the studio and also my internship at INCOG. For my internship, AmeriCorps Students in Service, I will be working with the economic development team mostly focusing on rural development.

Bristow Area Chamber
Last night I met with Bob Wyatt from the Bristow Area Chamber. Bob and I have crossed paths many times, the most recent being at the Depew Town Board Meeting in early September. This was the meeting at which I presented to the board seeking their support for my professional project. Bob and I since then have spoke over the phone and set up a meeting date to discuss possible avenues for my project and also the chamber. Our meeting was a success in my mind and has me very excited about the possible involvement. We spoke for over an hour discussing my project, family, friendships, and most importantly our communities. The neighborly community we once knew is disappearing from modern life. Bob and I are both interested in what it will take to make our communities thriving, viable, and even friendly in the future. We will soon meet again to discuss more in depth about aspects of community development. I believe this is going to be a great partnership or maybe I should say friendship.
