GPSS Proudly Announces the GPA of the Year Award Winner for 2006
Jan Brooks, GPA for Urban Design & Planning
Jan was nominated by Sean Keithly, Senator from Urban Design & Planning. Jan exemplifies the role of the GPA as someone who goes above and beyond in serving the needs of more than sixty students.  Her dedication begins for many students before they are even admitted, but applying for the program. She is a significant source of support and advice for new students.  Many students attest to the support they receive throughout the year whether it is in finding an internship, to getting an add code for a class at 8 PM the night before the deadline.  Jan is there, enhancing our lives as graduate students.  As the nominator writes, "Whether she has time or not, she always makes herself available for our questions or concerns, whatever they may be. Her sunny demeanor is a welcome and comforting sight to many a stress-overcome and sleep-deprived urban planning student." Congratulations, Jan!
