The Gator Experience doesn\u2019t end at graduation \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
