The 2024 “Placemaking Through Landscape Design” summer camp recently received the President’s Honor Award for Significant Support of Landscape Architecture. The award was presented at the Michigan American Society of Landscape Architects (MI ASLA) Conference held in Detroit on September 12.
The mid-July annual camp, held at Lawrence Technological University’s Southfield campus, marked its third year. The camp was hosted by Lawrence Technological University and organized by the Michigan Chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, the City of Southfield Planning Department and Southfield City Centre.
“The success of this program is because of the many volunteers who shared their time, experience and talent leading up to and during the week-long program, “said Terry Croad, AICP, ASLA, Director of Planning for the City of Southfield and organizer of the camp.
Croad also acknowledged the eight participating students from Michigan and Chicago who were “extremely focused and excited to learn about landscape architecture as a possible career.”
