A message from the dean, Dr. Steven H. Bullard

"Private funds help us to maintain and enhance excellence in specific targeted areas in teaching, research and outreach. In teaching, for example, the high quality and strong enrollment of students in forestry, agriculture, and environmental and spatial sciences is directly impacted by our ability to offer targeted scholarships and other support. We are deeply thankful for the support of alumni, parents and the communities of people we serve. Their support has direct, immediate impact in the short run, and in the longer term they help us cultivate strong, lasting partnerships to sustain and improve programs."
