Spark Talks
Quick Chats with Landscape Architecture Professionals
ASLA invites landscape architecture students to a 6-week webinar series "Spark Talks: Quick Chats with Landscape Architecture Professionals". Specifically geared toward students, these short conversations introduce students to landscape architecture professionals with diverse career paths.
Starting on September 28, each Thursday during lunchtime, this 45-minute webinar will highlight three speakers who will share their professional experiences. The themes for each of the six weeks are 1) large interdisciplinary firms (more than 200 employees), 2) mid-sized LA firms (50-200 employees), 3) residential designs and gardens, 4) small LA firms (less than 50 employees), 5) public sector and non-profit, and 6) academia. Join us to connect with these professionals, ask any questions you might have for them, and get to meet some of your fellow students from landscape architecture programs across the country!
