This was the inaugural year of the ComPlan Student Showcase, which was developed to uplift the innovative ideas that often come from students in the courses. Many students typically develop ideas for community-based projects while taking a course, or use the course to refine an already existing idea. By the end of their student experience, several students take their ideas and apply them to their individual projects, professional development or continue on to pursue other community-based courses.

Students presented a variety of innovative ideas, from developing an inclusive and sustainable affordable housing project to creating an online campaign that would promote community cultural history through popular social media channels.

The ComPlan Program is an academic partnership with LATTC’s Labor Studies Department, offering students the opportunity to develop both their academic and professional skills in and out of the classroom. ComPlan courses are designed so that students actively engage with community as they are learning course concepts, and are encouraged to apply their learning to the work they are currently engaged with.
