Brittany Laidlaw, Bachelor of Business

‘My business degree and my experiences as a Griffith student inspired me to pursue an opportunity on an international scale with confidence and with a firm belief that I could make a difference.’

Brittany�Laidlaw�embraced�the�far-reaching�opportunities�that�student�life�brought�to�develop�her�global�outlook.�

Brazil,�Thailand,�Nepal�and�the�Philippines��were�among�the�countries�where�she�expanded�and�enhanced�her�knowledge��of�the�world�while�studying�business��at�the�Gold�Coast�campus.

Through�Global�Voices�and�a�Prime�Minister’s�Australia�Asia�Endeavour�Award,�Brittany�built�a�firsthand�knowledge�base�around�international�relations,�Asia,�and�how��inequality�is�intertwined�with�world�politics��and�economics.

When�she�graduated,�Brittany�turned�her�attention�to�developing�a�permaculture�project�in�Hong�Kong.

‘The�organisation�is�the�first�of�its�kind�for�Hong�Kong�and�it�is�focused�on�the�use�of�ecological�principles�to�promote�clean�air,�clean�food�and�a�sustainable�lifestyle,’�Brittany�says.

Why study environment, planning and architecture at Griffith?

Environmental leadersWe’re�home�to�some�of�Australia’s�leading�environmental�scientists.�As�a�Griffith�student,�you’ll�have�unrivalled�opportunities�to�work�with�leaders�in�the�field�from�our�Environmental�Futures�Research�Institute,�which�brings�together�researchers�who�share�the�common�goal�of�undertaking�research�of�immediate�relevance�to�critical�environmental�issues,�and�continue�to�lead�research�addressing�some�of�the�most�pressing�problems�of�our�age.�You’ll�also�have�the�chance�to�work�alongside�researchers�at�the�Australian�Rivers�Institute,�which�is�a�world�leader�in�research�and�education�on�rivers,�coasts�and�catchments�and�Australia’s�largest�university-based�water�science�research�centre,�with�over�130�researchers�based�at��our�Nathan�and�Gold�Coast�campuses.

Sustainability is in our DNAOur�architecture�degrees�are�distinctive�in�their�emphasis�on�environmental�sustainability�and�urban�design.�As�a�Griffith�student,�you’ll�have�access�to�our�wide�research�portfolio�in�environmental�planning,�arts�and�design,�engineering,�climate�adaptation�and�science.�This�allows�cross-disciplinary�studies,�giving�you�the�opportunity�to�expand�your�knowledge�and�skills.

Global issues, global opportunitiesWe�have�a�particular�focus�on�sustainable�design�principles�and�design�for�tropical�and�subtropical�climates,�relevant�to�Australia�as�well�as�to�South�East�Asia.�With�an�eye�to�the�future,�we�regularly�engage�with�international�practice�leaders�and�offer�our�students�the�opportunity�to�not�only�learn�in�the�lecture�theatre,�tutorial�room,�studio�or�laboratory,�but�participate�in�fieldwork�in�remote�and�spectacular�places.�For�example�our�students�visit�the�Bali�Green�School�to�enhance�their�understanding�of�sustainable�practice.��Our�students�also�enter�international�competitions�to�hone�their�design�skills.

Holistic approach to planning studiesOur�focus�is�on�the�people�and�environment�interface�of�planning�practice,�theory�and�research,�giving�our�students�a�blend�of�social�and�natural�science.�Through�this�approach,�you’ll�develop�an�understanding�of�the�biophysical,�socio-economic�and�cultural�challenges�facing�cities,�suburbs�and�regional�areas�in�the�21st�century.�Given�the�increased�urbanisation�of�our�communities,�our�holistic�community-based�approach�means�that�you’ll�graduate�with�the�tools�to�plan�better�cities�and�communities.

Miyuki Suzuki, architecture student

‘Studying at Griffith has shown me that architecture has so many facets and possibilities and I want my work to help people.’

After�winning�the�2014�French�Embassy�Award�for�her�‘green�bridge’�design�for�the�City�of�Gold�Coast,�architecture student Miyuki�Suzuki�travelled�to�France�and�spent�two�weeks�working�alongside�masters�students�at�the�renowned�Institut�National�des�Sciences�Appliquées�de�Strasbourg.

‘It�was�such�a�rich�and�intense�experience,’�says�Miyuki.�‘The�Strasbourg�students�were�doing�their�final�year�projects�and�I�was�able�to�help�them�and�learn�from�them.’

Miyuki�says�the�best�part�of�her�French�sojourn—which�included�staying�in�a�modern�convent�designed�by�Italian�architectural�giant�Renzo�Piano—was�the�way�it�informed�and�enhanced�her�ideas�on�the�kind�of�architecture�she�wishes�to�pursue,�especially�in�her�Japanese�homeland.

Miyuki�hails�from�the�town�of�Namie�in�Fukushima�prefecture,�close�to�the�city�of�Fukushima�so�devastated�by�a�nuclear�meltdown�triggered�by�an�earthquake�and�tsunami�in�March�2011.

That�tragedy�is�driving�Miyuki’s�humanitarian�desire�to�apply�her�architecture�for�people�in�crisis�wherever�they�may�be.�She�hopes�to�achieve�this�through�creative�innovation�in�features�such�as�shelters,�temporary�housing�and�medical�centres.

Naomi Edwards, Bachelor of Environmental Science

When�it�comes�to�the�understanding�and��care�of�Australia’s�coastline,�Naomi�Edwards��is�passionate�and�proactive.

The�Bachelor of Environmental Science�Griffith�University�graduate�followed�her�pursuit�for�coastal�action�with�a�Master�of�International�and�Community�Development,�which�grounded�her�community�outreach�work�at�Griffith’s�Centre�for�Coastal�Management.

She�is�enthusiastic�about�the�opportunities�studying�at�Griffith�can�provide.

‘I�made�the�most�of�my�time�in�the�School��of�Environment�by�putting�up�my�hand�for�almost�everything�I�could�possibly�do,’�says�Naomi.�‘That�includes�studying�alpine�plants��in�the�Australian�Alps�and�working�with��world-leading�professors�in�Nepal�for��long-term�ecological�research.’

Her�latest�research�project�is�examining�the�connection�between�people’s�happiness�at��the�beach�and�its�relation�to�beach�health.�

‘We�already�know�that�beaches�make�people�feel�happy�and�we�also�know�how�to�measure�the�health�of�beaches.�What’s�more,�there�are�“beaches”�of�research�on�coastal�sustainability,’�says�Naomi.

‘However,�community�wellbeing�at�the�beach,�beach�health�and�coastal�sustainability�haven’t�been�linked�as�yet,�and�this�represents�a�huge�research�gap�that�needs�to�be�crossed�in�order�to�transform�the�way�beaches�are�managed�and�to�enhance�community�aspirations�to�care�for�them.’

‘When I first went to Griffith I wanted to be a Park Ranger and now I am working on world class beaches and educating communities on how to care for them.’

Bachelor of Aviation graduates�Alice�McCabe�and�Lucy�Creamer�have�fond�memories�of�their�first�solo�flights.

‘It�was�great.�Take-off�went�well�and�it�was�wonderful�being�up�there,�alone�and�in�control�of�a�Cessna�172�and�loving�every�minute�of�it,’�says�Lucy,�whose�grandfather�flew�Spitfires�during�World�War�II.

‘I�felt�pure�joy�and�absolute�certainty.�This�was�exactly�what�I�wanted�to�do�with�my�life.’

Alice’s�first�solo�effort�was�in�a�single�engine�Tobago.�‘Before�I�took�off,�my�instructor�kept�asking�whether�I�was�okay�and�reminding�me��of�what�I�had�to�do.�I�told�him�“Yes,�yes,�all�right,�go�away”.�I�couldn’t�wait�to�get�up�there�and�I�smiled�the�whole�time.’

Alice McCabe and Lucy Creamer, Bachelor of Aviation graduates

Both�Lucy�and�Alice�were�smiling�again�when�the�RAAF�Graduate�Pilot�Scheme—offered�by�the�RAAF�in�collaboration�with�Griffith�University—was�launched�in�March�2014.��With�women�comprising�only�three�per�cent�of�Air�Force�pilots,�this�initiative�aims�to�boost�the�female�participation�rate.

‘It’s exciting to think we could be the first female fighter pilots in Australia, f lying elite aircraft in an elite team,’ says Lucy.
