LAE students summer travels
This past summer, the Department of Landscape Architecture had several students that had internships around the world. Seven LAE students traveled from Bali and China to Costa Rica and Singapore. Students had the opportunity to work with companies such as CUGE and Turnescape.
Look for these students full stories in the upcoming October issue of the Perspective:
Chris Cook, MLA 2013, lived in Beijing, China, for two months and worked with Turnescape, which is recognized and certified as a first-level design institute by the Chinese government. In his free time, Cook hiked the Great Wall of China and explored the Forbidden City.
Sebastian Pazmino, BLA 2012 and MDP 2014, studied abroad in Paris, France, interned in Costa Rica and worked in Haiti and Honduras. Pazmino has a passion for working in low income communities and highly recommends other students take advantage of these programs if given the opportunity.
Tracy Wyman, BLA 2013, spent her summer in Singapore working with CUGE, the Center for Urban Greenery & Ecology, a training and research division of Singapore's National Parks Board. Wyman worked with students from secondary schools and says her experience was invaluable to her education.
