Greensboro, NC: The Landscape Architecture Program
at North Carolina A&T State University received a grant for $5,000
from the North Carolina Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects,
during the 1997 Annual Conference of the Council of Educators in Landscape
Architecture, which was recently held in Asheville.
The grant will be used in a scholarship fund for A&T students studying
landscape architecture.
During the conference, A&T also coordinated the third annual African
American Landscape Architecture Symposium. At the symposium, invited presenters
reviewed historical precedence and explored promising areas of teaching
and research related to African-Americans in the field.
According to Dr. Marihelen Glass, coordinator for NC A&T's Landscape
Architecture and Horticulture Program, the symposium was designed to share
knowledge which will enrich design education, research and scholarship
related to efforts to increase participation of African-Americans in the
field of landscape architecture.
"The A&T Landscape Architecture Program is the only accredited
program of its type at a historically black college or university,"
said Glass. "For that reason, it is imperative for us to address the
presence of African-Americans in the field, and the scholarship fund that
this grant will assist is an important part of that effort."
