About Us
As the University of Maryland Student Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (Student ASLA), our mission is to lead, educate, and participate in the careful stewardship, wise planning, and artful design of our cultural and natural environments. We are dedicated to promoting the study and practice of landscape architecture and providing opportunities for self-development, service, and association among members and practicing professionals.
What is LABash?
LABash is an annual student-run Landscape Architecture conference hosted annually since 1970. This year’s LABash will be held at the Cornell University from April 2nd-5th, 2020. The three-day conference features lectures from professors and professionals, hands-on workshops, design charrettes, and ample networking opportunities. The specialized workshops allow students to expand their skill set and better prepare them for the professional world.
