LANDSCAPE AND TURFGRASS STUDENT RECEIVES SCHOLARSHIP TO ATTEND NATIONAL CLINIC

A student in the Landscape and Turfgrass Technician Program at Iowa Lakes Community College has received word that she has received a scholarship for an all expense paid trip to the American Nursery and Landscape Association’s Management Clinic in Louisville, Ky.

Jamie Terveer, Ayrshire, will travel to Louisville in early February as a guest of the Western Nursery and Landscape Association. The group represents landscape and nursery professionals in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Terveer will be officially recognized as a recipient of the scholarship at the Western Annual Meeting and Trade Show in early January at the Overland Park Convention Center in Kansas.

This is the third year in a row an Iowa Lakes Community College student has been selected for this scholarship which is an opportunity for students to meet industry leaders and learn more about nursery and landscape careers.

The Landscape and Turfgrass Technician program is a diploma program covering three semesters. The last 10 weeks of the spring semester, students are at an on-the-job training at a business of their choice.
