New Scholarships

As reported in today's Targum, Cipriano Landscape Design has donated money for 4 scholarships to support students in Plant Science, Landscape Architecture and Landscape Industry. The article mentions something that I have referenced before: the US Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics has identified Landscape Architecture as a major growth field.

But there is at least one point worth clarifying:
"Contributions from groups like the 'Cipriano Keeping it Green Foundation' help make difficult career path decisions easier for students," Tulloch said.
I meant that the choices are difficult, not the careers.

I can't stress enough that we are grateful for the support that our students receive from the community. And one of the best parts of my job is notifying students when they get a scholarship. Getting to do that more, is always good.
