Fall, 2008 marked the beginning of the fifth year of our Master of Science program in Regenerative Studies. This year's cohort of graduate students, thirteen in all, is an accomplished and enthusiastic group. The students have a wide range of backgrounds that uphold the interdisciplinary approach of the program. We look forward to seeing great things from them and promise to keep you posted as they complete their first year and decide on their thesis subjects. Here is the first round of bios, with more to come!
Carolyn LaPrade
Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Carolyn comes to the MSRS program with a Bachelors of Science in urban and Regional Planning from Cal Poly Pomona. She currently works as an environmental planner at RBF Consulting, a planning and engineering firm in Ontario. Carolyn's interests include passive solar design, organic gardening, and new regenerative or sustainable technologies and practices. She is always looking for problems to solve!
Myles McGray
Myles is a native Michigander and has a B.A. from Oakland University. His interests include design and implementation of sustainable built forms.
Rosemary Squires
Rosemary graduated in 2005 from Colorado State University with degrees in English and Asian Studies. She combined her interest in Asian culture with her passion for languages and teaching when she traveled abroad to teach English in Asia. The MSRS program brought Rosemary back to the states after teaching for nearly three years. While she is still exploring options for her thesis, some areas of interest include community gardens, food production management at the Lyle Center, and integration of regenerative topics into high school curricula.
