Meet the Dean
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

🌲 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.
