In early December, our LAEUD studios had the privilege of welcoming a diverse group of external jurors who generously shared their expertise and provided invaluable feedback on our students’ work during our Fall Semester Final Reviews. Many traveled long distances—or even flew in—to support our program, highlighting the strong connections between our faculty, students, alumni, and the professional landscape architecture community.
We sincerely thank our external jurors for their participation:
- Aaron Elswick, Hitchcock Design Group
- Arturo Vázquez, Stantec
- Aurora Alcaide, Curtis and Rogers Design Studio
- Carolina Jaimes, ENEA
- Christina Alvarez, CALA Design Studio
- Dominic Mack, CGA
- Evan Siegel, AECOM
- Jordi Barri, Barri Studio
- Maria Villalobos, IIT
- Matthew Nicolette, Clemson University
- Mundy Colón-Izquierdo, ECo Design Studio
- Olivia Bussey, Curtis and Rogers Design Studio
- Rose Gilson, Coastal Vista Design
- Valeriia Tolkacheva, CGA
- José Terrasa-Soler, Marvel
Their involvement not only enriches the educational experience of our students but also demonstrates the depth and quality of our program. Bringing such dedicated professionals into the studio environment gives students the unique opportunity to learn directly from leaders in the field.
We are proud of the collaborative spirit this represents and grateful to all jurors for their generosity, engagement, and support of our students’ growth. We are grateful to the Cejas Family Foundation, whose generous support made this engagement possible.
