 In 2009-2010, the College of Environmental Design marks its 50th anniversary with a year-long series of events planned both to pay tribute to CED’s history and legacy, and to engage the college community in a lively discussion about its future. The celebration began in the fall with the Traditions of Design Activism symposium — a tribute to CED’s history — and continues in the spring with Visualizing the Future of Environmental Design, a colloquium focusing on issues important to the future of design and planning.
