The Dale Prize recognizes planning excellence, creates dialogue between scholars and practitioners, and enriches the education of planning students. Scholar and practitioner awardees demonstrate excellence in a common topic that is selected each year. Awardees spend two days on the campus, meeting with students and participating in a colloquium.
The Dale Prize is made possible by an endowment provided by June Dale, wife of the late William R. Dale (Bill Dale).
The 2009 Dale Prize theme is The Future of California's Communities and Regions in an Era of Resource Constraints and Climate Change. Dale Prize Practitioner S. Gail Goldberg and Dale Prize Scholar Stephen M. Wheeler will share their perspectives on February 4th and 5th 2009.
