Architecture grad heads to Waco and internship with Chip and Joanna Gaines
Shelby Gifford is an Architecture student graduating with her master’s from Louisiana Tech University in Spring 2021. She has accepted a summer internship with Chip and Joanna Gaines at Magnolia in Waco, Texas – beginning right after this weekend’s commencement events.
Gifford, originally from Arkansas, came to Louisiana Tech searching for a way to combine her love for art and math into a career. After touring the Architecture department, she knew that pursuing a degree in architecture at Louisiana Tech was the perfect fit for her and her career aspirations.
The forestry sector is overwhelmingly male dominated, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As of 2020, approximately 75 percent of the industry is male.
Women of Louisiana Forestry and Supporters, or WOLFS, is a student organization at Louisiana Tech University designed to provide support for female students who are pursuing a career in forestry.
For women in forestry, having a support system in an overwhelmingly male field can be crucial to their success.
“Women are a minority group, both in the forestry profession as well as students here. Less than 20 percent of our student population is female within our academic program,” said Dr. Laura Sims, Assistant Professor of Agricultural Sciences and Forestry and adviser for WOLFS. “It’s good to have a support network with each other, both while you’re here as well as when you go off into your career.”
