Gwinnett Tech Interiors Student Earns Recognition from Duluth Mayor
Robyn Brown recognized for her sustainable outdoor design
Gwinnett Technical College Interiors student Robyn Brown has been honored by Duluth Mayor Nancy Harris for her two-part project on sustainable living completed while interning with Frugally Yours Interiors in Duluth.
As part of her internship project, Brown wrote a white paper on sustainable living and created an outdoor living landscape design in the Historic District of Downtown Duluth. Mayor Harris was impressed with Brown's project and wrote her a letter thanking her for her hard work and congratulating her on graduating from Gwinnett Tech.
"The internship was a requirement for the Interiors program at Gwinnett Tech," says Brown. "If it wasn't for the requirement, I wouldn't have ever applied for an internship and had this great experience."
Brown graduated from Gwinnett Tech in June with an associate of applied science degree in Interiors. The 50-year-old New York native resides in Duluth and is currently enrolled in the Environmental Horticulture program at Gwinnett Tech to achieve her goal of obtaining a degree in both industries.
“Robyn showed the desire and hard work needed to push herself to new heights. Her new found interest in sustainability and honed design talents were successfully applied in her classes and internships,” says Susan Arnold, Interiors program director, Gwinnett Tech. “The hands-on experience students receive in the classroom and through internships enables them to explore many areas of design and to grow professionally. The support of our industry partners through internships and program participation is integral to students understanding and developing the skills to transition from college to the work place.”
