Meeting with town engineers and planners from New Haven Connecticut, Madison and Branford.  Since March, The Nature Conservancy hired the UEDLAB to work on the U.S. Department of the Interior Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resiliency Grant working with the South Central Regional Council of Governments and Metro Cog in Connecticut  (http://scrcog.org/regional-planning/coastal-resilience/). Joint students and students from the School of Forestry and Architecture are working on near to long term ecological planning strategies to reduce risk from large-scale storm events and future flooding, while creating economic development opportunities and improving ecosystems along the Connecticut’s coastline.The focus areas include Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stratford, West Haven, New Haven, East Haven, Branford and Madison.  The project began in March and will go through July 2016.

Meeting with Joint Degree students including an Alumni Meredith Sattler. 

Friday I had a relaxed morning, showered and chilled in my room and was productive and got all my laundry done! That afternoon I headed to the Kappa house with Laura for galentines day where we got to eat food and hang out with some of the girls for an hour or so which was really nice. After that I went back to Butterclub and hung out with the girls and Abe and Ahmed until dinner at Sadler. After dinner I went back to Reves for a shower before heading back to Butterclub for a pregame which just ended up being me, Astoria, Abe and Ahmed which was really great. We then headed to the St Andrews party that Joe was hosting. It was great to meet so many people on the program as well as hang out with some of the other exchange students. The night ended kinda early but while we were there we played some great games of slap cup and I had a really good time.
