Yes, we did it! Many thanks to the generous donors and supporters who helped us raise $52,486 by June 30 to surpass our goal of $50,000. This brings the total endowment of the scholarship to more than $225,000 including additional match from the University. We would like to thank especially the UW Class of 1959 for initiating this generous gift and members of our Professional Advisory Council for spearheading the effort to raise additional funds to receive the match. Our donors include more than 480 alumni, families, friends, firms, and even current students. Their support is a testament to our collective commitment to higher education and the field of landscape architecture. Inspired by the Class of 1959’s effort in preserving the historic Quad and our beloved campus landscape, it is also evidence of our community’s support for making and preserving great public spaces for all. Congratulations to the very first group of students who received the scholarship this year – Elizabeth (Betsy) Anderson, Graham Golbuff, Ali Masterson, Joel Miller, and Michael Schwindeller.Jeff Hou
The Class of 1959 Endowment has assisted me not only in an economic sense, but provided inspiration and created value of the work myself and my colleagues undertake each day to shape and improve our built environments. Public spaces such as the UW Quad were not the primary focus of leading North American landscape architects in the late 50s, and that a group of students from that era found those spaces so compelling truly put them on the cutting edge. Their valuing of what spaces can be and recognition of those who work to shape those spaces is nothing less than commendable, and ultimately inspired me to contribute some to the fund myself, perpetuating the cycle of helping shape space and facilitating the change in space that occurs naturally.

MLA 2015
Before starting my MLA program at UW, travelling and seeing the world was both my passion and my job. Seeing spaces around the world, how people use space and how space affects people, led me directly to the field of Landscape Architecture. When I became a student I believed my travelling days were on-hold, and I would only be able to afford to see the world’s landscapes through a classroom. However, the generous Class of 1959 Endowed Scholarship has allowed me to keep my summer job as a bicycle tour guide, and continue to discover new landscapes across the globe.
