[COMM-ORG] Doctoral Assistantships in Environmental Design and Planning at Clemson

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

From: Mickey Lauria <mlauria at CLEMSON.EDU>

The College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities at Clemson University 
is accepting applications for five three-year assistantships for the 
pursuit of the Ph.D. degree in Environmental Design and Planning.  The 
fellowship provides a stipend of $18,800 payable per year plus tuition, 
and may be renewed for up to two years.

I would like your help in locating superior students who might be 
interested in this opportunity for support of their doctoral studies.  
The diversity of our faculty, who have advanced degrees in applied 
economics, architecture, construction management, civil engineering, 
history, landscape architecture, parks, recreation and tourism, 
planning, political science and urban geography allows students to 
pursue a variety of research interests.

The objective of the program is to prepare a new generation of academics 
and professionals to deal with the diverse and complex issues relating 
to the next round of human development. The program is interdisciplinary 
drawing a core from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, 
planning, and construction science. We have identified focus areas of: 
Regional & Community Development & Design; Built Environment and Health; 
Restoration, Sustainability & Landscape Ecology; Technology, Materials 
and Construction Processes.   It is expected that graduates of this 
program will be well prepared to address increasingly complex issues 
relating to human settlement patterns and the built environment.  I hope 
you will share it with students who are or might be considering 
application to a doctoral program for the fall semester of 2009.

Clemson University, the land grant University of South Carolina, has an 
enrollment of over 17,500 students of whom over 4,000 pursue advanced 
degrees in 74 different areas of graduate studies. Strategically located 
within a few miles of Interstate 85, mid-way between Atlanta, Georgia, 
and Charlotte, North Carolina, Clemson offers easy access to major urban 
centers, coastal areas and the Appalachian mountains.
