Jere Tatich BSLA ‘77
With a partner who is a planner, we recently launched a new firm; "Elan Planning & Design, Inc.", located in Saratoga Springs, New York. At present, our genre of work delves deeply into community visioning and revitalization, economic development, innovative "non-traditional" home subdivisions, and campus planning with a focus in sports facility design. Geographically and economically, upstate New York has been good for us as an emerging firm. While a majority of our projects are close to our world headquarters, our projects extend into New England, Florida, Minnesota and that always "difficult" site on the French Riviera. We recently guest lectured at the Rhode Island School of Design on the topic of Elan's approach to subdivision design in conservation based contextualism.

George Salvaggio MLA ‘95
I just wanted to touch base, share a recent accomplishment. Our firm, Wetland Research Associates, Inc., recently received an ASLA merit award for a wetland mitigation project that I designed. I have been practicing for the past four years with an environmental consulting firm specializing in wetland and stream mitigation / restoration. We have designed several dozen wetland and stream creation projects. We specialize in the hydrologic design and native plant establishment techniques.

Kirsten Bell BSLA ‘96
Has rejoined Jacobs / Ryan Associates after a brief hiatus following the receipt of a Master’s of Science in Historic Preservation. Her recent degree and previous experience make her ideally suited to work with projects containing complex historic landscapes and other cultural resources. In December 2001 she completed her thesis entitled “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? Historic Preservation and the Environmental Movement”. In the process of writing her thesis she had the opportunity to explore the overlapping fields of green design and historic preservation. Kirsten is excited about the possibilities inherent in combining careful management of cultural and environmental resources with good landscape design.

Volunteering at Stourhead for a week, London, Paris, Garden Festival at Chaumont, then intensive Spanish lessons in Barcelona for a month. I hope to be back to work by 2004!
