Meet the Dean
Meet Ethan Clark, an environmental sciences student in @ncstatefer who played a pivotal role in sharing information and resources for communities in western NC impacted by Hurricane Helene.
“I was trying to get everything possible out. Normally, I stick to weather and no news on this page, but during this storm and even the coastal storm a few weeks ago, I started sharing stuff because it wasn’t getting shared by the national media. I felt people needed this information simply because I knew many people were watching the mountains that have loved ones there.”

Yesterday, we hosted the 2024 Frederick and Joan Barkalow Distinguished Conservationist Lecture. This year’s lecture featured Dr. Hillary Young, an associate professor and community ecologist at @ucsantabarbara.
Open to the public, this annual lecture features the work of a conservationist selected by fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology (@ncstatefer) students.
Congratulations to Dr. Jingxin Wang, professor and head of the Department of Forest Biomaterials (@ncstatefb). 🙌
Dr. Wang has been awarded the Reuben B. Robertson Professorship, the fifth #NCStateCNR faculty recipient since the professorship was established in 1953. He has more than 20 years of experience in teaching and research in sustainable bioproducts and bioenergy, forest biomaterials and engineering.

Yesterday, we held the annual #NCStateCNR career fair. We hope everyone had a great time networking and exploring career opportunities. Thank you to all the students and 40+ employers who attended.
We recently asked a few #NCStateCNR students what they are excited about this year. 🐺🐾 Check out what they had to say.
Our very own Dr. Jennifer Fawcett, an extension forestry specialist, was recently named “Prescribed Burner of the Year.” 🙌
This award was given by the North Carolina Prescribed Fire Council for Fawcett`s service to the council and outstanding support for the continued use of prescribed fire as a land management tool.
In her role at NC State, Fawcett conducts wildland fire education and outreach for landowners, community members, professionals and others. She serves as coordinator of the Southeast Regional Partnership for Planning and Sustainability`s Prescribed Fire Working Group — an alliance of state and federal agencies that works to increase the use of prescribed burning across the southern United States.

Brandon Wilson, a senior majoring in environmental sciences (@ncstatefer) with a concentration in renewable energy, recently completed the Student Airborne Research Program at NASA`s Wallops Flight Facility and Langley Research Center (@nasawallops) in Hampton, Virginia.
The program is an eight-week summer internship program that allows students to conduct research on one of NASA’s aircraft for studying atmospheric chemistry, air quality, forest ecology and ocean biology.
"My long-term career goals are to continue working at NASA as a data scientist. I would love to pursue my pilot license and continue to conduct airborne research. I believe this internship has provided me with so much accessibility and valuable experience about many careers in natural sciences."

Yesterday, our very own Ana Cubas Baez and Erin Mansfield (@ncstatefer) presented at the KIETS Climate Leaders Program`s Fall Symposium. The 2024 symposium highlighted climate mitigation and adaptation solutions and took place at the Duke Energy Hall in Hunt Library.

Last week, #NCStateCNR hosted a meet and greet for our environmental technology and management program. Several current students, alumni and guests gave “flash talks” and it served as a great networking opportunity for our @ncstatefer community.
Guest speakers included George Jones of @raleigh_pej; Lauren Poole, Joyce Gaffney and Cecelia Lechtman of @raleighgov; Jeff Kunstling of @trc_companies; Cam McNutt of @ncdeq; and Matthew Eckmair of Antea Group.
Throwback to last month’s @ncstatealumni Legacy Luncheon. ❤️ 🤍 We were thrilled to welcome our incoming #NCStateCNR students with their alumni parents and/or grandparents.

Over the summer, junior Antonio Jimenez had a once-in-a-lifetime experience pursuing his passion for sports at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (@baseballhall). ⚾
"My family has always loved baseball and some of my favorite memories include going to Milwaukee Brewers games and watching the World Series in the living room with my family. Baseball is also intricately linked with our nation’s history, and you can’t tell American history without baseball." —@anto.js03
Antonio, a sport management major in the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management (@ncstateprtm), spent much of his 10-week internship in the Hall of Fame’s membership department. There, he was responsible for renewing memberships, selling memberships and assisting visitors and donors with questions about the Hall of Fame’s special events.

A passion for research and mentorship led recent alumna Murry Burgess to a career in academia as an assistant professor in Mississippi State University`s College of Forest Resources (@msucfr).
“What really inspired me to become a professor is kind of the story of students that I knew who wished they had a certain type of mentor and wished they had someone who looked like them represented. I wanted to provide what that generation was lacking a little bit.” —@murryloub
🔗 Check out the link in our bio to read about Murry`s journey from #NCStateCNR into higher education.

🌲 Student club spotlight: National Parks Club 🌲
The National Parks Club aims to make recreation accessible to everyone in NC State’s community through general body meetings, volunteer events and camping trips. Membership is open to all @ncstate students, regardless of college or major. Upcoming general interest meetings can be found on their Instagram page, @nationalparksclub.
Today’s Paper Science and Engineering Career Fair was quite the success. 🙌 Approximately 250 @ncstatefb and @ncstateengr students were in attendance to network and connect with more than 40 companies, including @packagingcorp, @internationalpaper and clearwaterpapercorporation.
This past Sunday, first-year undergraduate forestry and environmental resources students, faculty and staff came together for the annual FER Welcome Picnic at Jordan Hall.
📸: Check out some of the event’s highlights.
We’re still thinking about the unforgettable memories we made this past weekend. ❤️🥲
