DeBoer Travel Prize
The Roy DeBoer Prize winners will speak about their travels.
About the Prize
“Roy passionately believed that students should have an educational travel experience as undergraduates. For many years he led summer study-abroad courses for the department and saw the profound impact that travel has on the appreciation and study of landscape architecture. To encourage students to develop their own independent study-travel experiences, he founded and supported through his gifts a competitive Landscape Architecture Travel Prize that awards a stipend to help underwrite an educational trip.” Read more about Roy DeBoer.
