2019 CED HONORS DAY FRIDAY, SEPT 6, 2019 INTRODUCTION BY DEAN SONIA HIRT
Honors Day is one of CED’s most special traditions—a day in which we celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our faculty, students, and staff and the remarkable vision and generosity of our friends and supporters. Honors Day ’19 is extraordinary! Throughout this year, we mark the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the College of Environment and Design as a single academic unit while embracing the earlier decades during which the instruction of landscape architecture flourished at the University of Georgia.
Since 1928, our faculty, students and alumni have dedicated themselves to bringing life, creativity, stewardship, and imagination to the spaces around us, shaping them into culturally meaningful and environmentally responsible places. Then and now, we lead in planning, designing, and preserving our built and natural environments.
Our year-long anniversary project includes the publication of a book, website and an exhibition, the development of branding materials, a series of high-profile guest lectures, and several celebratory events, including today’s.
Thank you, all, for being an invaluable part of the CED team and onto the next 50 years! ALUMNI AND HONORS DAY 2019 ALUMNI AND HONORS DAY
