CSS Summer Internship

This year’s class of summer interns have come from across the United States to work in the CSS. Graduate students from planning, landscape architecture, architecture, geography, coastal science, and engineering are working together to learn the complexities and challenges facing coastal Louisiana. Each student brings experiences from his or her university, region, community, and discipline making for a lively dialogue. The students are working in teams on a number of ongoing projects in the studio. Under the direction of our team of research fellows students are making significant contributions to our research.

Part of the program includes a series of field trips. A few weeks ago the group traveled deep into the coastal wetland to the Wax Lake Delta. Yesterday the trip was New Orleans and a series of stops to view the different flood control tools and infrastructure that the city depends upon.
