Our program has the benefit of strong industry partnerships where our students and our curriculum are the recipients of their support. We rely on our partners to advise on our coursework to ensure we are integrating the most current industry practices and technologies.<\/p>\n
Our partners become student mentors and are valuable connections as our students transition into their professional careers. Examples of how our partner support include scholarships to attend national level events like Elevate, the national Green Industry conference, the National Collegiate Landscape Competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F1F1F1″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”4%|4%|4%|4%|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/agsci.colostate.edu\/hortla\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/142\/2023\/03\/steinhauer-studio-design-contracting.jpg” alt=”Phil Steinhauer in Nutrien design studio” title_text=”2022 Nutrien Building Grand Opening” _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_top=”4px” border_color_top=”#F15625″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Phil Steinhauer, the owner of Designscapes Colorado<\/a> gave our program a generous donation and with gratitude, named Steinhauer Landscape Design and Contracting Studios in his honor.
