Dr. Sarah Little, Acting Director and Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at OU, was recently invited to speak at an Environmental Ethics webinar hosted by The University of Georgia. The panel, Young People’s Right to The City, was hosted virtually last Tuesday, February 28, 2023, as a part of the Environmental Ethics Certification Program’s (EECP) Spring Seminar Series.
The EECP promotes environmental leadership and provides a forum where philosophers, scientists and students can discuss social and scientific responsibilities towards the environment. The program helps prepare students to solve complex environmental problems by providing them with the knowledge, skills and values needed to address these issues.
Dr. Little was a panelist for the Environmental Ethics class, which is a part of the EECP. Joined by four other panelists at the event, Dr. Little discussed the importance of youth involvement in city planning and design. She presented work from her award-winning, co-edited book, The Routledge Handbook of Designing Public Spaces for Young People: Processes, Practices, and Policies for Youth Inclusion, regarding the role of designers in facilitating experiential accessibility for children living with disabilities.
During the Spring 2026 semester, students in Interior Design Studio IV and Graduate Studio IV gained hands-on experience in educational facility design through a semester-long partnership with MA+ Architecture.
The Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture congratulates Dr. Tammy McCuen, Robert E. Busch Professor of Construction Science, on beginning her term as president of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), an international organization dedicated to advancing construction education through teaching, research and service.
Following years of contributions to the College’s research and strategic initiatives, Gibbs College shares that Associate Dean for Research and External Engagement Angela M. Person, PhD, will step down from her position at Gibbs College as she moves to Tucson with her family, effective June 30, 2026.
