LAE Celebrates 64 years of Landscape Architecture

 

The Department of Landscape Architecture celebrated Professor Lester Linscott's retirement after 33 years of service at UF and Professor Emeritus Herrick Smith who received the ASLA Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal Award. Together the two professors have worked 64 years in the landscape architecture profession in Florida.

 

Herrick Smith, FASLA, received the 2012 American Society of Landscape Architects Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal Award. Herrick's distinguished service to the profession and to the University of Florida has been crucial for landscape architecture in Florida. His legacy to students and to assisting in the establishment of six other university programs in landscape architecture is testament to his sustained excellence.

 

Les Linscott is retiring after 37 years of dedication to the profession and for 33 years of service to the University of Florida and education of students in landscape architecture. His mentoring and inimitable style has inspired students and will be fondly remembered.
