University of Maryland Hosts 2023 Fellow for PDE
The impact is immeasurable, but… the mission now is to fulfill what everyone expects from me and us: the implementation of new ideas, projects, and visions in our institutions and communities.”
Michel Cabral, 2023 Fellowship Alumnus, Cabo Verde
The University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (MAPP) takes pride in empowering dynamic leaders in the U.S. and around the world. This summer, the school hosted 2023 Fellow Michel Cabral of Cabo Verde for his Professional Development Experience (PDE).

She also supported him through academic study, workshops, networking, professional opportunities, and community engagement.
