LAEP Speaker Series: Elizabeth Kennedy
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Elizabeth is the founder of Elizabeth Kennedy Landscape Architect, PLLC (EKLA). Black-owned and woman-run, EKLA is the longest-surviving such firm in the country. Its longevity is due to Elizabeth’s tenacity and her belief in the importance of service—to clients, community, her profession, and the process of design.
The work she directs quietly challenges mainstream assumptions about the aspirations and needs of underrepresented voices to counter the systems and biases that have long dispossessed the less powerful of spaces and rendered the people who use them invisible. Her best-known projects at the intersection of social justice and design exemplify landscape architecture’s potential to engage a broader critical understanding of place and identity. She built EKLA to highlight the heart of her clients’ stories and mission. From this perspective and standpoint, Elizabeth teaches, directs, critiques, frames, collaborates, and edits – in studio and national debate.

Re-Launching the Career Design Center
Workshop/Training
Over the past year, the Career Design Center, formerly Career Services, has been very busy reimagining and redesigning career education at Utah State University. Based on national trends, research, data, feedback from the Utah State University (USU) community, and the workforce, changes were made to scale the Career Design Center's ability to reach all USU students. Career education is all of our responsibility - the future of the Career Design Center is to be a presence that is strategically integrated into the student academic experience, not just a brick-and-mortar location. Our goal is to collaborate with more and more faculty so we can more intentionally help students be a learner, but also prepare for their careers and successfully transition into the workforce. Helping students gain experience through opportunities such as internships gives students a stronger advantage in the job market upon graduation. The Career Design Center can provide more strategic career education to help students navigate the ever-changing workforce needs.
