The New School has made the finals in the 2008 JPMorgan Chase Community Development Competition, to be held on May 6 in New Orleans. This year’s competition focuses on rebuilding in New Orleans. The New School is partnering with Volunteers of America of Greater New Orleans on a plan for a mixed-use, mixed-income community along the riverfront.The competition invites graduate schools with urban planning programs to work with a community-based nonprofit on a project that helps the organization with a real-estate need. Because of the collaborative nature of the Chase competition, all the players benefit. The monetary award of $25,000 allows the winning nonprofits to realize their plans, while the students gain unparalleled practical experience and meet professionals in the field. Many students even change career paths and go into community development after taking part in the competition.
