education program at the college or university level. Application forms must

We encourage you to alert qualified students to the availability of this
financial aid. Thank you for helping to spread the word about the CTASLA

Michael Rettenmeier

Michael Rettenmeier is pursuing a
Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture at the
University of Connecticut. He is passionate about his choice of
landscape architecture as his major, and enjoys being able to solve
problems with the landscape while also expressing his ideas through
design.
"My favorite part about this major is I get to learn through
experiencing realistic projects and working one-on-one with
professors in a studio, instead of just listening to a lecture with
hundreds of other students in the room,” Michael says. “It is
rewarding to finish a project that you put so much effort into and
present it to your classmates to hear what they think."

Cheryl Z. Udin, Purchasing Manager of Oak HIll in
Hartford, says, "Michael’s ability to work with diverse individuals
is a great asset. His ability to see the ‘whole picture’ is one
reason he will be very successful in landscape architecture."

Deborah Zervas

Deborah Zervas is pursuing an MLA in
the Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning program at the
University of Massachusetts. As a visual artist as well as a
designer, she is very interested in the representation of landscape
and the role it plays in the design process and in client
edification.
Her thesis proposal is for a theoretical and experimental study into
the use of collage as a medium to express all aspects of landscape.
Deborah says, "I use collages of all types in my design work, and
will investigate how well this medium can communicate spatial
relationships, quality of space and intended use to
non-professionals."

Bruce A. Wujcik, R.A., an
associate with Svigals + Partners, says "as a practicing architect I
have often sought out Deborah’s fresh viewpoints and creative
insights on design issues. Invariably I come away with a richer
understanding of both the problem to be solved and the path to a
resolution." He adds, "Deborah is unjaded by precedent and unbounded
in her creativity."
Deborah hopes to eventually find a position as a landscape
architect/designer in an architecture office, doing site assessment
and community engagement, with perhaps an adjunct teaching position.
Congratulations to these worthy recipients of our Student
Scholarship!
