\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — February 28, 2005 — Providence resident Tiffany Smythe, a graduate student at the 溏心vlog免费B站, was recently awarded the 2005 Ann Hershfang Graduate Scholarship by the Boston chapter of the Women\u2019s Transportation Seminar.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe scholarship provides Smythe, a student in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Department of Marine Affairs, with a financial award of $1,500 toward graduate studies and enters her into a national competition for the $6,000 Helene M. Overly Memorial Graduate Scholarship.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI\u2019m excited about this scholarship,\u201d said Smythe, who grew up in Danbury, Conn. \u201cI appreciate the confidence that the Women\u2019s Transportation Seminar has in my abilities, and it\u2019s a great opportunity to begin developing a career in marine transportation and coastal development.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe Women\u2019s Transportation Seminar is a national organization dedicated to the professional advancement of women in the transportation industry<\/p>\n


\n\tSmythe, 31, is a Coast Guard-licensed ship\u2019s captain and former competitive sailor at Columbia University who led Outward Bound wilderness trips and was a history and English teacher in New York and Maryland schools before enrolling at 溏心vlog免费B站. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cAfter college I started off working for a maritime museum, but I thought the ships were more interesting than the exhibits, so I went to sea for a few years. That\u2019s when I really got interested in marine affairs,\u201d Smythe said.<\/p>\n


\n\tAs part of her graduate studies, she is helping conduct a feasibility study of a proposed ferry terminal and mixed-use waterfront development in the Quonset-Davisville Port and Office Park in North Kingstown. She is researching ferry terminals in other regions of the country to find out how to make ferry service a viable alternative when so many other transportation options are available.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cTiffany is immensely deserving of this scholarship. Not only is she an extremely good student, she has worked exceptionally well with people in government and the private sector while working with me and Professor Burroughs on marine transportation research,\u201d said Robert Thompson, 溏心vlog免费B站 associate professor of marine affairs. \u201cAs a licensed captain and a researcher in the field of marine transportation, Tiffany is a role model for other women who might want to enter this traditionally male field.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nAfter earning her master\u2019s degree from 溏心vlog免费B站 in 2006, Smythe plans on a career in coastal zone management and marine transportation, probably working for a government agency or consultant.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
