In October, GSD NOLA alumni welcomed this year’s Loeb Fellows to their city during a reception held at Eskew+Dumez+Ripple Studio, recipients of the 2014 AIA National Firm Award. Organized by GSD Alumni Council members Collette Creppell AB ’92, MArch ’90 and Kevin Harris MArch ’80, and Sabeen Hasan MArch ’09, guests were also treated to a talk during the reception by Irvin Mayfield, cultural ambassador of New Orleans and founder of the New Orleans Jazz Institute, who spoke about “The Art of Building Good Ideas.” The Fellows ventured south this year for their annual Fall Study Tour, where the group spent several days exploring the rich historical city of New Orleans on walking tours, panels, working sessions, and networking. Read about more the tour and the 2014 Loeb Fellows on their blog.

In November, the GSD headed to Denver for the ASLA Annual Meeting. Mark Johnson MLAUD ’82 invited the GSD alumni community and colleagues to a reception at Civitas, Inc., the firm he co-founded in 1984. Charles Waldheim AM ’09, John E. Irving Professor of Landscape Architecture and Chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture, welcomed the crowd during the reception. See more great pictures from the event on our Facebook page.
