Our 2018 Outstanding Alumni were honored at our annual alumni and friends banquet on April 7, 2018, at the Ramada Conference Center in State College, PA.
Each year Penn State's Forest Resources Alumni Group recognizes up to four Outstanding Alumni and at most one Outstanding Recent Alum for their professional achievement, excellence, impact and recognition; service to the profession, to the department, and to the community; and demonstration of high personal and professional standards.
This year's awards were presented at a banquet held on April 27, 2019, in State College, Pennsylvania.
All Outstanding Alumni biosketches are available online. Nominations are due annually by September 30.
This awards program began in 2001 to recognize outstanding alumni and to foster closer relationships between the award recipient and students, faculty, staff, and other alumni.
