The Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA) invites you to participate in its annual meeting to be held August 15–19, 2007, on the Penn State University Park campus in beautiful central Pennsylvania. The conference venue will be the new Stuckeman Family Building, home to Penn State's School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. This 110,000-square-foot facility, a Gold LEED-rated building, will provide ample space for presentations, meetings, and informal gatherings during the conference.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Continuing Education Units are based on a standard of 1 unit per 10 hours of classroom instruction—you will receive up to 5 hours per day or 20 hours for completion of the entire conference (Wednesday through Saturday). Upon completion of the program, each participant will be awarded a certificate for the CEUs earned.

CELA's 2007 program, Negotiating Landscapes, will feature the following subthemes:

• Declining population, exploding land use
• Formerly industrial towns seeking revitalization
• Community-based watershed stewardship
• Healthy lifestyles in a car-dominated landscape
• Recreation on someone else’s spoil

Universally, people are waking up to new realities that affect both professional and personal lives and relationships. We face constant change in many arenas of both the public and private sectors, including the environment; politics; the economy; social justice; religion; education; ethics; and so on. These global changes demand that we reconsider their interactions and identify new ways of thinking about problem solving. They result in changes to the positions we adopt and in the active roles as change-makers that we take both individually and as an interdisciplinary discipline. This is the theme for Negotiating Landscapes.
