I found it! 🙂 just kidding. Cassi and Vance, you guys were cracking me up…

Everyone email your previous class mates to join. I have just done mine and can’t wait to see where the road has taken them and there styles. I also feel this could be a great way to let students know about intern/ full time positions available in our offices.

I am a landscape designer working towards my professional registration as a Landscape Architect. I received my BSLA from Arizona State University in May ’05 and have been working for one of the largest engineering design firms for over 3 years now. Our office has one RLA, but our supervisor is a PE. The main advantage here is that I am learning…[Read more]

I recently relocated to Iowa from Arizona. I’m the only LA in my firm and the guys here seem to understand the want for the LA side of projects.

We’ve got a beautiful climate but a not so beautiful way of managing projects. I heard that in Australia LAs and…[Read more]

Hey Isabel, you live in the UAE, too?

Hmm…come to think of it, my fellow larkies in the office fit the description. We are a “construction engineering consultancy”, but we’re doing fine so far, save the many moments when you feel the need to educate them about your profession, and point out that their utility manhole will be sitting askew on you paving grid…and that styrofoam on…[Read more]
