Meet the Dean
Meet Susannah Weaver, a junior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in parks, recreation and tourism management (@ncstateprtm). 👋
Susannah is currently a member of NC State`s @caldwellfellows program and Impact Delta, a community engagement program in which groups of students work together to address a local social issue through @ncstatesle. Through Impact Delta, Susannah and other students in her group are assisting Habitat for Humanity of Wake County to help create affordable housing.
"The outdoors has continuously been my positive outlet — a space where I can express myself, be present and find peace amid life’s stressors. Whether it’s hiking in the mountains or simply enjoying a local park, nature has a way of rejuvenating my spirit."

“It’s a really small major and really tight-knit and there are so many different opportunities that I feel I wouldn’t have gotten had I picked a bigger, more well-known major. Everything is so personalized."

This summer, Fenton McKown, an NC State junior majoring in fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology (@ncstatefer), spent three months as a Summit Steward in the Adirondack Mountains. During this time, he assisted in wildlife conservation and helped preserve the alpine ecosystem through encouraging visitors hiking to carefully navigate the trails and avoid damaging the plants. 🏔️🌲
“It was very rewarding to make a genuine difference in the conservation of alpine plant species. They never ceased to amaze me in their sheer beauty and ability to survive the insanely harsh conditions of the alpine zone.”

Over the summer, @ncstatefer senior Lainie Powell took her studies abroad with the FW 445: Human Dimensions of Conservation Biology in the Bahamas course. 📚🌊
Her time spent snorkeling among coral reefs and conducting research in blue holes not only deepened her knowledge, but validated her career aspirations in research-based field work. "Even though the days were often long and physically demanding, I still found myself enjoying the act of collecting data and experiencing each new site we visited."
