Fiona McAnally is a graduate student in plant sciences at the University of Tennessee. Her master’s thesis research focuses on documenting the historical, cultural, and botanical significance of heirloom vegetables that continue to be grown in home gardens in Southern Appalachia. Fiona grew up on a farm in East Tennessee and spent many summers gardening with family members while developing a life long interest in history. Fiona graduated from the University of Tennessee in political science and worked in state and federal government in Washington D.C. before returning to Tennessee where she became the Director of Ramsey House Plantation, a 1797 historic house museum. Working with a well-known regional seed saver, Fiona reconnected with vegetable gardening through demonstration gardens. Eventually, she decided to return to academics to gain a background in plant science and pursue her research goals in heirloom plants.

Castro first came to appreciate the importance of landscape architecture, particularly stormwater management, working summers in the poor, often-flooded hillside communities south of Bogata, Colombia, her native city. Recognized for her organizational and illustrative talents and inquisitive nature, the outstanding third-year undergraduate student at the University of Florida Department of Landscape Architecture aspires to demonstrate by example that the profession is wide open to Latin American women. As a community volunteer, she shares her love of the profession and teaches others of the landscape architect’s value in strengthening cultural identity. She mentors minority high school students and encourages their interest in landscape architecture as a profession of choice.

Osinubi, as an undergraduate, already has her sights set on a doctorate in urban planning with a focus on how landscape architecture can improve living conditions in dense, underprivileged neighborhoods. A third-year student at the University of Georgia, she founded the Multicultural Society of Landscape Architecture to support her fellow minority students in pursuing landscape architecture. She draws inspiration from her parents, who immigrated to the U.S. from West Africa and struggle to support her professional pursuits. As a volunteer, she helps others learn the Yoruba language and is active in the Georgia Society of Landscape Architecture, the African Student Union, the Feminist Club, and the Athens, Ga., community.

Through his studies in landscape architecture at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Kane has developed a fascination with the beauty and function of nature, an obsession in design detail, and an enthusiasm for understanding how people react to outdoor spaces. His goal for the future is to design places that promote interaction between humans and the outdoors in a society that is growing increasingly disconnected from the natural world. Kane hopes to inspire people to explore and appreciate nature as well as use the technologies that are causing the disconnect in designed spaces to increase human interaction with outdoors. The Courtland Paul Scholarship has made it possible for Kane to continue his education and progress in the field of landscape architecture. He would like to thank all involved for awarding him this scholarship and for supporting his current and future career goals.
