Prospective Student Advising:
CEP Student Assistant
My name is Nye Hilal, I’m from Everett, Washington and I’m a first year Masters of Urban
Design and Planning student, and recent Community, Environment, and Planning graduate. My
passion in urban planning stems from my interest in political systems and policy. I intend on
specializing in Land Use, Infrastructure, and Transportation Planning; after graduating my goal
is to work in the public sector as a city planner to positively impact the communities I’ve grown
up around! Outside of academics, I love to bike, play football, Overwatch, and travel the world! If
you have any questions about CEP, urban planning, or UW’s graduate program don’t hesitate to
reach out to me.
