Fellow Students, Faculty and Staff:

I am pleased to announce the newly elected Executive Committee for the Student Chapter of ASLA at UCLA Extension. They are as follows:

Edoardo Taroni  Treasurer
Vivian Shu    Third Year Representative
Isabelle Moritz  Second Year Representative

Delegates be coming to Design I classes to recruit First Year Representatives next quarter.

We have decided as a group that we would like to focus our efforts on Networking with Professional Landscape Architects and to plan events that will help us prepare ourselves for obtaining jobs. I stopped in to most classes last winter to sign you up for the student directory and to recruit volunteers for the upcoming events. Committee Chairs will be contacting you regarding assistance for the following committees:

Student Show
Social Mixers
Graduation      
Fall Picnic
Office Tours    
Professional Q & A Panel
Portfolio Preparation Workshop
Graphics and Website

Let’s all work together to plan events that will be enjoyable and benefit everyone!

 

Regards,
