“My greatest decision was taking courses beyond the typical landscape architecture courses and learning from the historic preservation program as well as the Center for Community Design & Preservation program. This challenged me to work and learn alongside graduate level students and connect with other staff and faculty.”

“I had the pleasure of being in the inaugural class of the MEPD program at UGA. Despite being a new program, the College of Environment and Design had the expertise and the resources to provide an exceptional educational experience out of the gate both in the classroom and in the community. After graduation, I immediately got a job at the Athens-Clarke County Planning Department working as a Planner II, and have since been promoted to a Planner III. Over the last 5 years, I have also had the pleasure of interacting with each of the new classes of MEPD students, all of whom are talented, intelligent, inquisitive, and critically engaged with current planning and design issues.”

The broad skillset learned in the landscape architecture program allowed me to work on projects ranging from planning college campuses to designing urban environments to crafting intricate site details. The breadth of the field allowed me to find my interest in historic and cultural site conservation.

“During the [Intro to Landscape Architecture] class, I learned about the wide range of considerations and influences that are associated with the profession, from design to architecture to engineering to environmental sustainability. I loved the contrast of the creative classes like Intro to Design and Plant ID with the engineering-based classes like Site Grading.”
