What do Landscape Architecture students at Texas Tech get to do?

The Texas ASLA Convention was held in Fort Worth, Texas, in April 2008. The Department of Landscape Architecture celebrates the many students whose designs won awards in this convention.

Every summer, Prof. Charles Klein takes a group of students to the Yucatan Peninsula for a study abroad service learning experience in ecotourism studies. Students work with local governments to choose and redesign areas to support community involvement.
