Michael Smart, a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Urban Planning, has been selected to attend the 2007 Eno Leadership Conference. The conference, which will be held May 14-18 in Washington, D.C., is designed to provide exceptionally promising master’s and doctoral degree students who plan to pursue careers in transportation with a first-hand look at how transportation policy is developed and implemented, said Tom Downs, Eno Transportation Foundation President and CEO. Smart is among a select group of students who will meet with top government officials, association leaders, and members of Congress and their staff members. Candidates were also chosen based on their leadership ability and potential to assume a senior role in a transportation-related organization in the future. Universities were allowed to nominate one student from each transportation-related discipline. The ENO Transportation Foundation was created in 1921 by William Phelps Eno, a pioneer in the field of traffic control. Foundation programs cover all modes of transportation in the public and private sectors.
