\n\t\tOne of only four students to complete degree with 4.0 GPA<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 18, 2010 \u2013 Bryan Harrison chose to enroll at the 溏心vlog免费B站 in part because he liked the old granite buildings on campus and in part because its coastal location gave him an opportunity to learn to sail. <\/p>\n


\nThe New Milford, Conn. resident will graduate on May 23 as 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s top landscape architecture student and one of only four students on campus to complete their degrees with a 4.0 grade point average.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy first exposure to landscape architecture came in high school when I was taking classes in ecology and conservation,\u201d Harrison explained. \u201cI found that landscape architecture brought art and design elements into my interest in ecology.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tThe 溏心vlog免费B站 student took advantage of numerous opportunities to put his budding design skills to work. He interned with the University\u2019s Coastal Landscapes Program and the state\u2019s Coastal Resources Management Council to design the restoration of coastal buffers in the city of Warwick, and he is just completing a native plant design manual.<\/p>\n


\n\t“That project took regulatory language and turned it into plain text that homeowners and designers can use,” he said. \u201cMy task was to look at the text and see what needed graphics and then illustrate the plants and planting plans.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tHarrison also worked on designing displays of naval artifacts in the landscape around the campus of the Naval War College in Newport and a siting and master plan for a sustainable high school In the 溏心vlog免费B站 W. Alton Jones Campus in West Greenwich.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cOne of the great benefits of the 溏心vlog免费B站 landscape architecture program is its outreach to the community,\u201d he said. \u201cMost recently we designed a domestic violence awareness park in Bristol in memory of a woman who was killed by her husband. We worked with the family and the town to incorporate their ideas into a practical design.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWith graduation just around the corner, Harrison appears most excited about completing his second sailing class.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI told myself when I came to 溏心vlog免费B站 to make sure to take these sailing classes before I graduated, and I\u2019m just barely going to make it in time,\u201d he said with enthusiasm. \u201cIt\u2019s been a fantastic experience, and I get my skipper\u2019s card next week.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tAs Harrison continues his job search and considers enrolling in graduate school, he is contemplating several potential career paths.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cOn one hand, I\u2019d really like to work for the National Park Service or work for a firm that does ecological or historical restoration work,\u201d he said, noting that the Park Service is one of the nation\u2019s largest employers of landscape architects. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s the complete opposite, which could have me involved with an urban design firm creating social spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tSocial spaces are going to be vital, he said, because cities will once again become the new frontier.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cAs our population continues to grow, urban centers will grow at an incredible rate, and our infrastructure is antiquated,\u201d he added. \u201cNew designs are going to be needed to design sustainable living spaces — sustainable from a human point of view as well as from an ecological point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n
