Winter Connections

Greetings CAED Community,

I am proud to share our winter issue of Connections Quarterly. 

Please join me in celebrating: landscape architecture students finalizing their senior studio projects for the 2023 show on March 18, a team of 13 Cal Poly Master of City and Regional Planning students who developed an action plan for the community of Oceano, a city and regional planning alumnus who is giving back to their program through a scholarship fund, and CAED alumni exploring creative pursuits in the arts.

As we near our 75th celebration this fall, I want to thank you for your continued support of our college and our exceptional students. 

 
Sincerely,

Christine Theodoropoulos, Dean
College of Architecture and Environmental Design
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA
