Our Work

Since 2008, groups of graduate students from the University of Texas have been traveling to the Dominican Republic to work with community residents, local civil society partners, and municipal officials to provide technical support on projects related to infrastructure improvement planning and community development in informal settlements.

The bi-annual visits are designed as practicum courses in which students execute technical and empirical studies to support the goals and neighborhood improvement efforts of community residents.
