Student Spotlight: Ariyan Henry, MPI/MCRP ’27
“When deciding to apply to graduate school, it was important that I started with the end in mind. I knew what my goal was, so I had to figure out what path would get me there. I chose the urban planning/public informatics track at Rutgers’ Bloustein School because it bridges the ideas and plans for what can be done with the technical skills needed to put them into action. With every class that I take, I immediately see the practical application and feel more equipped to step out into the workforce.”
