Greetings from a sodden Yellow Chicken Farm, where our endless spring rains have wreaked havoc on pollination, but the bees are still buzzing.
I’m near the high school and could hear the echoes of the graduation ceremony. Another reminder that our seasonal traditions continue regardless of weather. Similar ceremonies were held at WSU and UW and I welcome our profession’s newest members to the fold and wish them success.
Another seasonal tradition is the National ASLA Student awards. A great BIG thank you to Carrie Culp, ASLA, who organized the juries and thank you to the juries as well! And thanks to Vanessa Lee and Ken Yocum at the University of Washington and Jolie Kaytes at Washington State University for wrangling the students.
Congratulations to the following students:
University of Washington
Bachelor’s students
Reed Lewis – Honor Award
Heewon Kim – Merit Award
Master’s students
Erin Irby – Honor Award
Erynne van Zee – Honor Award
Hoilok Heather Lam – Merit Award
Sarah Lukins – Merit Award
Washington State University
Bachelor’s students
Julianna Mettler – Honor Award
Kyle Dominguez – Merit Award
Lizbeth Maldonado – Merit Award
Our education never ends…as in continuing education for maintaining our licenses. We do send out reminders to the membership for free CE courses. Our fantastic sponsors have been offering free classes so take advantage of them. Also, thanks to our sponsors!
Hopefully, as is tradition, the good weather will begin on July 5th. Enjoy the fireworks and be safe.
Sincerely,
