Jeremy Németh, PhD, is an associate professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Colorado Denver and one of seven recipients of the inaugural TIAA Chancellor’s Urban Engaged Scholars award, an award which recognizes outstanding contributions to the Denver metro region through community-engaged scholarship.
