A conversation with Eric Treviño

Hi everyone, welcome back to “Meet.” This podcast was born out of a pitch for the newspaper, specifically, The Paisano — UTSA’s independent student newspaper. Meet is a podcast living in the realm of conversation and a show that crosses disciplines. I do hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, I sat down with interns from the Urban Future Lab (UFL). Those interns were: Kelsey Brown, who graduated from UTSA with a master’s in architecture and a certificate in historic preservation; Luis Escalante, a master’s student in the urban and regional planning program; Nicole Chavez, a graduate student at St. Mary’s University, studying public administration who also works as the public affairs coordinator for the UFL. A fourth intern, Karla Ruiz, was also a part of the team. Unfortunately, she was unable to make it.

The Urban Future Lab is a think tank and teaching lab founded by assistant professor at UTSA, Dr. Antonio Petrov. Started in 2016, UFL is housed at the UTSA College of Architecture, Construction and Planning.

This interview was recorded on September 14, 2022.
