LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
The spring semester always seems to fly by. It starts in the dead of winter with everyone hunkered down inside. Eventually, the weather gets warmer and attention spans shorten as the beauty of spring draws our attention to the outside. This semester seems to be full of activities adding other distractions. Having just completed the career fair, many students will soon be contemplating employment and internship options and further interviews. Soon we will be hosting faculty candidates to interview for vacant positions. Recruiting events are scheduled to get students to make there enrollment deposits. Today we will be having our ‘Shadow Day’ to give prospective students a day in the life experience. More-
