The Gator Experience doesn’t end at graduation – or any geographic border. You can see it making an impact everywhere, from historic coastal communities to thriving urban neighborhoods to conservation lands in Florida and across the world. To sustain and amplify our progress, we draw upon the insights of distinguished practitioners in landscape architecture and design. Our Professional Advisory Council (PAC) plays a pivotal role in helping to advance the level of innovation and excellence within the Department of Landscape Architecture.

Help Us Support Student Travel
Hands-on experience beyond the classroom and studio is essential for developing an understanding of place. The Student Travel Fund allows the Department of Landscape Architecture to offer direct financial assistance to students for educational travel experiences.
