Bulldog Bound Perspective: Clark Comish
Meet Clark Comish, who transferred from Holmes Community College in Ridgeland, MS. Clark looked at multiple colleges and what they offered before deciding on a major. Clark’s academic advisors recommended looking into Landscape Architecture at Mississippi State University. The Landscape Architecture program allows him to combine his passion of nature along with being creative. The program trains Clark for the skill set to help improve natural ecosystems and change how humans interact with them.
“I have a large interest in sustainability. My program looks at multiple areas of sustainability including natural habitat, hydrology and energy. I have studied native plant species and their complex ecosystems. I learn what it takes to protect and improve these environments.
The transition of going from a community college to a university is a big step, but once you find a major you want to turn into a career you will experience one of the most rewarding things life can give you. Be open minded because you never know what class could introduce you to a lifelong passion.”
- Clark Comish, Ridgeland MS
