Sponsored by the Minnesota Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (MASLA), the second annual Landscape Architecture Firm Fair was attended by 20 area Landscape Architecture firms and public agencies and over 100 students. Held at the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, this program gives the students a glimpse of the diversity of the Landscape Architecture profession. It also gives students the opportunity to make future contacts, and ask questions about the profession in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. This program has grown in popularity since its inception in 1997. According to MASLA Director of Programs Joel McElhany, "The architecture instructors and students were so impressed by the program that they plan to hold a similar event modeled after ours."
