Voorhees Center mourns the loss of our co-director and UIC’s Urban Planning and Policy Professor, Dr Janet Smith. Janet was a relentless advocate for justice and fairness, with deep knowledge of community development and affordable housing. Her passion and conviction for the protection of the rights of the disenfranchised was unparalleled; she was a shining example to her colleagues, and an incredible resource to our partners. Her energy, enthusiasm, and determination was inspirational to all who worked with her.
