Ervin Zube Lecture Series continues Fall 2009 and Spring 2010. Thursdays at 4:00 pm

Series Description – by Professor Jack Ahern

The Zube lecture series is named for Ervin Zube, former head of LARP from 1974 to 1980.  Ervin Zube is internationally known for his leadership in developing a culture of academic research in the profession of landscape architecture.  His personal research made numerous seminal contributions to landscape planning theory and practice.  Ervin left UMass for the University of Arizona, where he continued his renowned research and teaching. 

Ervin and his wife Margaret helped significantly and generously to establish the Zube lecture series endowment at UMass, formerly established in 2004 to “bring scholars to the department to stimulate and enrich our academic community in landscape architecture and planning.  The Zube endowment has also been supported generously by alumni, students and faculty.  Ervin passed away in 2001, and Margaret more recently passed in 2009.  

We honor their leadership and generosity through the lecture series which continues to stimulate and enrich our community with the thoughts and works of academic and professional leaders from far and wide.  The department is pleased to accept donations of any amount to build and enlarge the endowment.

The Department is pleased to offer the following lectures:

Procopio Room, 105 Hills Central. Light refreshments will be served.
