As a student society our priority is to the student body, specifically those of the landscape architecture program. We hope to provide a welcome setting for all students to get involved with our activities in order to expand on their skills and experiences outside what is provided for them within the classroom. LASS also provides an essential forum for the integration of different classes of students within the landscape architecture program. Through fun activities we provide students the opportunity to network with other upper and lower level students to providing valuable friendships between the years and a more unified community. Beyond our own major we also seek to create lasting connections with other majors and student societies within the Penn State community.
We encourage all students of landscape architecture to get involved with the society. Some of the benefits of membership include discounted banquet tickets, special classes and seminars, valuable learning opportunities and a more enjoyable five years of landscape architecture education.
Please review our constitution and by-laws.
Below is an excerpt of our purpose as defined by our constitution:
"The purpose of the Society is the advancement of knowledge, education, and skill in the art and science of landscape architecture as an instrument of service in the public welfare. To this end the Society promotes the profession of landscape architecture and advances the practice through advocacy, education, communication, and fellowship.
The purpose of the Chapter shall be to bring students together through organized activities that: 1) are consistent with the purpose and policies of the Society; 2) enhance understanding of the Society, the profession, and related disciplines; 3) improve skills and knowledge and complement the educational curriculum; and 4) encourage participation in the programs and activities of the Society, its professional chapters, and other student and student affiliate chapters." read more...
