“There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as it does protection.” - Theodore Roosevelt
The culmination of a student's time in the Community, Environment, and Planning program, the senior project is designed to demonstrate the students growth and achievement in an area of interest. From urban bicycle infrastructure to affordable food systems, the CEP senior projects come in many shapes and sizes. Equal parts personal expression and professional development, the senior project is the final benchmark in a CEP education.
My Senior Project
Combining my lifelong appreciation for the outdoors with a desire to move our urban environments in a more sustainable direction, I focused my senior project on encouraging environmental stewardship through outdoor recreation.
I spent my senior year working in cooperation with the University of Washington's outdoor recreation program, UWild, to create a fly fishing course for students, faculty, and staff.
In alignment both with personal and CEP values of community building, environmental preservation, and non-traditional learning experiences, my program approaches fly fishing from an environmentally responsible perspective encouraging its participants to get out and interact with the natural world in a sustainable way.
