In 2000, the American Society of Landscape Architects created The Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal to celebrate the outstanding life and career of Professor Jot D. Carpenter, FASLA, past president of the ASLA. Professor Carpenter's position as Professor of Landscape Architecture at Ohio State University was a formidable platform to showcase his honor, commitment, and energy as an educator, leaving an indelible mark on landscape architecture education. This medal honors his contribution to education and the profession.

Eligibility: Nominees must be full-time, retired, or emeritus landscape architecture faculty members who have made sustained, significant contributions to a landscape architecture program and advocated for ASLA and the landscape architecture profession to students. Nominations are accepted only for individuals who are living at the time of submission. If a nominee passes away during the review process, their nomination will remain under consideration for posthumous recognition.

Frequency: One medal is awarded annually.
