The Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA) recently announced the Fellow Class of 2025.

 
Caroline Lavoie with Utah State University was awarded to the Academy of Fellows where she was inducted at an awards dinner at the 2025 CELA Annual Conference, March 27-29 at the Hyatt Regency Conference Center in Portland, Oregon.

"I am deeply honored by this recognition and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the field of education." Professor Lavoie told LASN, "It reflects the hard work and dedication of all those I've worked with throughout my career."

With more than 28 years of academic experience, Professor Lavoie has demonstrated exemplary dedication to landscape architecture in her teaching, research, and service to the landscape architecture profession and the CELA. Lavoie is a Professor of Landscape Architecture at Utah State University. In her academic career, Lavoie received numerous awards and accolades for her research and creative scholarship. She has over 15 national and international awards including three Fulbright scholarship awards to Australia, Argentina, and Azerbaijan. Lavoie has also received multiple recognitions including CELA 2019 Excellence in Design Studio Teaching at Senior Level, and CELA 2000 Award of Recognition for Research at Junior Level.

Perhaps Professor Lavoie's most significant contribution to the field of Landscape Architecture is her art and design work, which she has presented and exhibited both nationally and internationally. The overarching theme of her body of work focuses on reconnecting people with their landscape particularly waterways and watersheds. Professor Lavoie produced, set up, installed, and curated 18 art shows and exhibitions during her academic career. That is equivalent to one national or international art exhibition every other year. The body of work produced through drawings, painting, photography, and multimedia has garnered the highest level of media articles, reviews, accolades, prizes, and recognitions, including invitations for Solo-Art Shows both nationally and internationally.
