DESCRIPTION:App State's Department of Geography and Planning is pleased to
  welcome back App State alumna Mary Beth Collins ‘99\, executive director
  of the Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies at the University of W
 isconsin–Madison.\n\nWhat does a healthy community look like beyond elect

 tate students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members — will be held on
