NEW FACULTY HIRES JAKE POWELL The Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Department at Utah State University is pleased to welcome Jake Powell to our faculty beginning Fall of 2018 as Extension Specialist and Assistant Professor. Jake’s professional career has focused on uniting communities to their surrounding landscapes through collaborative planning and design efforts. His work as the director of a non-profit conservation corps has been centered on pairing the conservation efforts of young adults with public lands and communities through service learning. He has worked throughout the Intermountain West to envision and implement watershed planning and restoration projects, natural resource conservation projects, recreation infrastructure, and community economic growth opportunities. Jake’s interests revolve around how the design of communities, infrastructure, and sites affect water quality, quantity, and conservation at the site and watershed scale. Jake earned his BLA from Utah State University, and a Master’s of Science in Landscape Architecture from Penn State University where he studied in the Penn State Center for Watershed Stewardship.
Jake Powell is replacing David Bell as the new Extension Specialist and Assistant Professor.
