The CED presents a special spring commencement video message. Dean Hirt and guest speaker Chris Hite share their encouragement and well-wishes to the Class of 2020. Program coordinators Brad Davis, Georgia Harrison Hall, James Reap, and Umit Yilmaz read the names of our graduates.

 

Chris Hite earned her BLA from the CED in 1987. She is the President of Dix.Hite, a highly successful 35-person landscape architecture firm with offices in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. She is a talented designer specializing in quality destinations such as parks, multi-family and mixed-use developments. Hite is also the President of CED’s Dean’s Advisory Council.

 

Special congratulations to our honor graduates! Read more about Julia Alcorn (BLA, MUPD), Braden Meadows (BLA), Hannah Rose Mayo (MHP, Sigma Pi Kappa Honor Society), and Timothy Brown (MHP, Sigma Kappa Honor Society) here.
