Praxis in Landscape Architecture

Be the change you want to see in the world. Even if this quote has found its way onto too many bumpers, it’s still a sentiment/aspiration/call that I like. In an age when so much of the power structure seems faulty, it is natural to turn toward one’s own sphere of influence, and I’d argue that the saying is particularly relevant now. I am fortunate to be in an environmental college where many of the students seem to be answering Gandhi’s call. I spent nearly an hour on the phone today with a prospective student who clearly has a noble mission and is already taking on the role of change maker. Totally inspiring to see many other students doing the same! Much more than a bumper sticker. And a hopeful sign for us all.
