I hope you all had a great May and are gearing up for a great summer! I’m not sure I’m entirely ready for the North Carolina heat and humidity, but I’ll just keep my sunscreen handy and my water bottle full!
May was a big month for me, not only did I get to see my parents, but I had the opportunity to finally meet many of you in person at our conference! Thank you to all our Sponsors, Exhibitors, and to each of you who attended. We can plan an event out in detail, but without your participation it can’t be a success. We would love to hear your feedback if you haven’t provided it already, please feel free to let us know your thoughts via this link .
After a long delay due to the pandemic, NCASLA finally held our 2022 Conference on Landscape Architecture at the Hotel Ballast in Wilmington NC on May 19 – 21. After two virtual events, our return to an in-person conference was marked by record high attendance with 220 members and non-members present!
On June 22 NCASLA will be hosting our State Advocacy Day event, which will be located on the portico of the NC legislative building. This event will be held between 12-2 pm. As those that have participated in any of our past Advocacy days know that this is a great way of meeting your representatives and talking to them about our profession.
The NCAT Landscape Architecture Program successfully completed the academic year on May 14:
We graduated 7 new BSLAs.
Our seniors visited 9 firms and city departments to prepare for their job searches--thank you to all the NCASLA members who graciously hosted our students (see attached picture)
5 of our 7 graduates have already accepted positions at firms or started their own businesses
After four years as NCSU LAEP Department Head, Meg Calkins, FASLA, FCELA, will step down at the end of the month to devote more time to her teaching and scholarship. Under Calkins’ leadership, department enrollments increased by approximately 50% and underrepresented minority student enrollment increased from 2% to 8%. She led the faculty through a successful accreditation visit, recruited a new Director of the Natural Learning Initiative, and facilitated a substantial increase in funded research. Gene Bressler will serve as Interim Head for one year while a search for a new Head is conducted.
Do you want to share your passion for Landscape Architecture with your State Representative and Senator? Join us in Raleigh on June 22 for State Advocacy Day.
You’ll enjoy refreshments with your legislators as you discuss current projects or policies that allow you to make a positive and substantial impact on our state’s economy and environment.
Afraid you won’t know what to say? Don’t worry! We’re hosting an information and training session with our Lobbyist on Tuesday, June 21 from 9:30-10:30 am, via Zoom.
Your unique experience and one-of-a-kind perspective are important. Share your stories with your representatives to show them why Landscape Architecture is important to NC. Register now!
Are you joining us for another short downtown walk and sketch crawl this year in Durham? The NCASLA Emerging Professionals Committee is excited to host a sketch crawl event with AIA Triangle EP/YAF collaboration. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, June 18, 2022, from 10:30 am-1:00 pm.
We will visit the Carolina Theatre of Durham, Durham Central Park, and Five Points Plaza to sketch. Come and share your drawings with us.
Happy World Landscape Architecture Month! I bet if we polled people on what they thought the most important day in the month of April is, the majority would say ‘Tax Day’, April 15. I also bet that if you asked a landscape architect the same question, they may try to convince you that last week of April is where it’s at! Annually, we celebrate Frederick Law Olmsted’s (FLO) birthday on April 26 and Arbor Day (typically celebrated on the last Friday of the month) so it’s a week filled with design, history, trees, and the environment! Does it get any better?
This April 26, we not only get to celebrate FLO’s birthday, but it’s the big 2-0-0! Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about finding a cake large enough to accommodate 200 candles, but I do hope you all are able to do something to celebrate. Not that we need another reason to bookmark April 26, but it is also the last day to register with the Advanced Rate for our conference in Wilmington. So, if there is a day to remember this month, it’s not that your taxes are due on April 15, it’s April 26!
