On Tuesday, March 11, all Master of Landscape Architecture students were invited to meet and network with professionals in the field of landscape architecture and urban design. Director of the Landscape Architecture program, Alissa North, hosted the event and delivered the opening remarks. The event was modeled after the speed-dating concept with students moving from table to table to ask professionals about the practice of landscape architecture and design, as well as to gain insight into their prospective career paths.

The Daniels Faculty would like to thank the Ontario Association of Landscape Architects (OALA) for their support of this initiative providing MLA students the opportunity to meet with professionals in the field.
