WxLA Minnesota

We are WxLA.

The Minnesota chapter of Womxn in Landscape Architecture (WxLA) is dedicated to increasing transparency, leadership, and representation for womxn (women, women-identifying, and non-binary people) in the profession by providing mentorship and scholarship opportunities, encouraging supportive discussion and exchange of ideas, and establishing a virtual home for members.

We host regular Happy Hours, an annual gathering, and more. We’d love to see you at our next event. All are welcome!
