Life is extremely busy. But what happens when time is set aside to mentor our next generation? Three presenters with diverse backgrounds come together for a discussion on how landscape architects can mentor through leadership and youth engagement to promote inclusivity and diversity within our profession.
Learning objectives:
- Explore the role of representation in creating a more diversified and equitable profession.
- Highlight the barriers that prevent and deter many students of color (specifically black and Latinx students) from pursuit of design careers.
- Discover the importance of youth engagement and mentorship in landscape architecture.
- Learn tips on how to encourage landscape architects to take action for the future and growth of the profession while balancing a career and family.
