We are pleased to share with you some of our greatest recent accomplishments.
One of the best ways for students to learn about what their career will be like after college is to talk to professionals in the field. This semester the bachelor's and master's students in the Landscape Architecture program spoke via Zoom with CED alumni in landscape architecture and related careers across the country.
The Center for Innovative Teaching (CFIT) Campus Development Project is an exciting partnership between Barrow Community Foundation, Barrow County schools, ArtsNow, and community leaders to create an innovative arts and science center that includes a playground and destination park in Winder, Georgia. This past summer, College of Environment and Design (CED) seniors in Professor Donnie Longenecker's capstone undergraduate landscape architecture studio (LAND 4900) partnered with the CFIT to develop concepts for playground and park designs.

The Circle Gallery will remain open until November 25th, 2020 for visitors to come relax and enjoy the gallery space. Everyone welcome! Enjoy sitting in the gallery or just walking by, and let the colors, shapes, and lines take you on an indoor journey of design.
The College of Environment and Design 2020-2025 Strategic Plan was prepared by a committee of faculty, staff, students, and alumni after gathering ideas and input widely. As a professional school, we aim to strengthen instruction, research, and service through the integration of design with science- and evidence-based solutions, holistically addressing society's most urgent problems - especially in Georgia's most vulnerable communities. This is wholly represented in our Vision, Mission and Strategic Goals. We invite you to explore the details of our plan and see where it aligns with your relationship to the College.
Megan McPherson, a first-year Master of Historic Preservation (MHP) student, came to the program with some bona fide research under her belt with the Georgia Museum of Natural History (GMNH).
The Anthropology A.B./Historic Preservation M.H.P Double Dawg program prepares students to be leaders in the fields of historic preservation and cultural resource management, as well as providing a pathway into Ph.D. programs in the social sciences and humanities. The Master of Historic Preservation is the terminal degree in the field of historic preservation and would allow graduates access to employment options at local, state, and federal government levels, would prepare them to work in the non-profit cultural heritage sector, as well as to find employment in the construction, cultural heritage tourism, and design industries.
On October 7, CED students launched "Lettus Talk", a podcast to address contemporary issues of urban planning, landscape architecture, and historic preservation. The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple, and Google podcasts. "Lettus Talk" launches episodes on Wednesdays.
