North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) is a public, historically black (HBCU) research university in Greensboro, North Carolina serving over 12,500 high-performing students and is one of only two HBCUs with a degree program in landscape architecture.

NC A&T has produced more African American landscape architects than any other accredited degree program in the nation and the world and has been instrumental in advancing diversity within the profession.

NC A&T needs your help to sustain their landscape architecture program and has an immediate need of $40,000 to purchase laptops for students. Donate now to help students continue their education during this time of distanced learning.

Earlier this year, NC A&T launched an emergency fund to help the general student body purchase basic necessities. The University’s hardships were then further compounded by COVID-19 and the pivot to distanced learning formats.

These unforeseen circumstances have drastically hit the Department of Landscape Architecture and are threatening the participation of its students. The Department is in desperate need of laptops for its students. Rather than being able to complete assignments in the studio, students must now have personal computers that can support the required software programs to complete their degree.

Donate now to help a student purchase a laptop that will help them graduate as a landscape architect.

NCASLA’s mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship. We are committed to fostering equity and inclusion within our profession, membership, and leadership.

Providing support to NC A&T is one of the single most important and tangible steps NCASLA can take to grow the profession, increase diversity, and strengthen the pipeline of representation of Black landscape architects.

NC A&T has an immediate need for $40,000 to purchase laptops. How much support can you give? Donate now.
