Mentoring program for landscape
architects
The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)
has joined the ACE Mentor Program as a national sponsor and
partner. As part of the program, ASLA will work with high school
students, exposing them to career opportunities in landscape
architecture, as well as other design and construction professions.
"One of the key factors that makes ACE stand out from
other high school mentoring programs is its approach to the
construction industry as a whole" said Pamela Mullender,
executive director of the program. "This partnership
with ASLA further strengthens ACE's mission, which is to introduce
students to all aspects of the design and building professions."
The ACE program relies on professional mentors to volunteer
their time in order to introduce people, projects and career
possibilities to students, targeting minority and underserved
populations. The partnership fits with ASLA's mission to advance
the practice of landscape architecture through education,
advocacy and communication.
