Dr. Charles Fountain Internship
Dr. Charles Fountain founded the landscape architecture program of North Carolina A&T State University in 1977 and retired in 1989. Dr Fountain's visionary thinking saw the need for minority landscape architecture professionals in design, planning and management of the environment and to facilitate a program in Landscape Architecture at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU). The North Carolina A&T Landscape Architectural program is the first and only fully accredited undergraduate program of its type at any historically black university in the United States. Dr. Charles Fountain passed away in August 2000 but his legacy lives on. Each year, the firm will consider under-represented minority students from undergraduate or graduate landscape architecture programs to participate in our summer internship program. African Americans, Latinos, Native Alaskans, Native Americans and Native Pacific Islanders are under-represented within our profession and are encouraged to apply. To learn more about this program, please contact Kathy Fry. Eligible students should apply through our on-line Employment Application. Please select "Internship- Dr. Charles Fountain" as the position for which you are applying. |

The purpose of this program is to honor diversity in academia. Established in 2004, the Dr. Charles Fountain Internship was created to assist under-represented minority students in gaining "real life experience" in an office environment.
