The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry offers a diverse range of accredited programs and degree options in chemistry, construction management and wood products engineering, environmental and forest biology, environmental resources and forest engineering, environmental studies, forest resources management, forest technology, landscape architecture, and paper science and engineering.

The College’s mission is to be a world leader in instruction, research, and public service related to: understanding the structure and function of the world’s ecosystems; developing, managing, and using renewable natural resources; improving outdoor environments ranging from wilderness, to managed forests, to urban landscapes; and maintaining and enhancing biological diversity, environmental quality, and resource options. As such, ESF has maintained its unique status within SUNY’s 64-school system as one of only four specialized colleges and one of only eight doctoral-granting institutions.

ESF takes affirmative action to provide equal opportunity for all people and to build a campus community that reflects a wealth of diversity.

Campus Views Our College, Our Support

by Curtis H. Bauer ’50 As the academic year draws to a close, a search committee is in the process of identifying a new president to replace Dr. Ross S. Whaley, who announced his intention to return to teaching. The 15 members of the search committee represent the board of trustees, faculty, faculty chairs, students, college staff, alumni, and the college foundation. The search committee members are dedicated to bringing an outstanding president to ESF—one who has the vision to successfully lead our college into a new era.

As search committee members interview prospective candidates, the candidates also will be examining ESF. Presidential candidates will measure ESF in terms of where it is today and its potential for tomorrow. ESF will be appraised favorably. A long-standing tradition of top quality faculty, good students, a rigorous curriculum, and a steady stream of productive research regularly have been used as measures to compare us with leading colleges and universities in America. ESF is a unique and outstanding institution.

It is understood that voluntary financial support by alumni is an established tradition at virtually all private and, more recently, public colleges. Certainly, candidates interested in becoming our next president will examine the records of our current and potential alumni giving.

Our college mostly has been well served by SUNY funding formulas and we have been very resourceful with allocations received. It is now increasingly evident that any successful unit of SUNY must responsibly utilize public funds for core operations and attract private funding to attain excellence.

ESF alumni have demonstrated college s u p p o r t through giving. Friends, corporations, and foundations are valued donors and have been generous. In order to increase our resources, the support of each constituency is Curtis H. Bauer ’50 essential.

While the concept of giving to the college by alumni and other supporters is relatively new, the tide of gifts is growing stronger. As evidenced by the number of donors listed in this publication, many believe in the worthiness of ESF. Your continued concerns for this college bode well for the future.

On behalf of our college, I thank each and every donor for his or her unselfish support.

Your gifts made a difference last year and demonstrate that together we can meet the challenges ahead.

Bauer serves as chair of the college’s board of trustees and heads the search committee for ESF’s new president. The founder of Forecon Inc., a well-known forestry consulting firm, he graduated from ESF in 1950.

ESF’s Honor Roll Of Donors Meeting The Challenges For The Years Ahead

by Gary A. Waters

This issue of Inside ESF recognizes the many generous donors who made gifts to support ESF from January 1, 1997, through June 30, 1998. This unusual reporting period reflects a transition in the college’s development program that warrants further explanation.

ESF is a unique institution.

While a relatively small college, its specialized mission with distinct disciplines makes it at times similar to a large university. Also, though a public institution, ESF’s high academic standards and international reputation attract outstanding students coveted by top private universities.

In recent years, fund raising has emerged as a top priority for ESF to provide the extra edge necessary to maintain our national standing. Competition for the essential resources of a high quality institution—students, faculty, research facilities, and equipment—increased dramatically at the same time as state support for SUNY schools slowed. Fortunately, prudent and

efficient management of college budgets allowed ESF to weather these years remarkably well.

However, the competition for top students, faculty, and leading-edge technology will only increase in the future. ESF recognizes this, accepts it, and looks forward to the challenge. The Jahn Lab Appeal is evidence of this attitude. This fund-raising effort, concluded in October 1998, raised $1.1 million to provide state-of-the-art equipment for the magnificent new Jahn Laboratory, home of ESF’s Faculty of Chemistry. Private sector support also was instrumental in advancing ESF’s program, one of the top chemistry curriculums of its kind in the nation.

During the current year, a new approach to the ESF Annual Fund was adopted. After originating, operating, and growing the Annual Fund for many years, the ESF Alumni Association turned over the fund’s management to the college’s Office of Development.

This was a logical direction for

the Annual Fund because as it grew, so did the number and size of other gifts received by the Development office. The college will continue to move in this direction to serve donors with a comprehensive, integrated development program.

The changed approach to the Annual Fund is not a dramatic shift, but did require adjusting certain activities. The most noticeable—and the reason for the unusual listing period of gifts in this report—is that the Annual Fund year changed from a calendar basis to the college fiscal year, July 1-June 30. From July 1, 1998, forward, the Honor Roll will reflect gifts received during the college fiscal year. This transition therefore required a special, one-time reporting period from January 1, 1997June␣ 30, 1998.

Also, a distinct and pleasant difference in the Annual Fund is that ESF students are now the direct link between the college and alumni through the telefund program. From September

through April, ESF students phoned ESF alumni on behalf of the Annual Fund campaign. This approach is more than fitting; more than 80 cents of every dollar contributed to the Annual Fund provides financial aid for ESF students who require assistance with college expenses. And, when current students contact former students there is a sense of shared purpose and importance about their conversations irrespective of their age differences.

Another strength of this new arrangement is the ESF College Foundation, Inc. All gifts for collegewide purposes are initially administered by the foundation. This nonprofit organization is governed by strict financial and procedural guidelines for the sole purpose of assisting ESF. Members elected to the foundation include many alumni and friends of the college from throughout the country. Also, the presidents of the ESF Alumni Association and Ranger School Alumni Association are permanent ex officio members of the

foundation’s board of directors, as are several college administrators.

Contributions to the ESF College Foundation are invested and then directed to the college for the purpose given. In 1997-98 the foundation received more than $1.5 million, exceeding the $705,000 raised the year before.

This growth reflects a confidence by alumni in ESF’s mission, its capable, motivated students, and exceptional faculty characteristics that have always been the hallmark of the ESF experience.

Each person, corporation, and organization listed in this special issue of Inside ESF is owed the deepest expression of gratitude. Generous gifts make a good education even better, and a student who realizes the full potential of an education is one whose life is enriched. Your gifts help make this possible.

Waters is director of Development at ESF. He joined the college staff in 1997.

‘An Act Of Pure Generosity’

by Claire B. Dunn Herbert Baxter loved the woods.

He hunted and fished avidly near his home in the Catskills. And when times were tough, he turned to his avocation to make ends meet.

“He hunted deer and he got a couple of bears in his lifetime,” said his widow, Cathrine C. Baxter.

“Some winters, he trapped for all kinds of animals. When times were a little hard, he’d trap and sell the skins. He didn’t have to go far from home. He always lived close to the woods.”

When Baxter, who had been employed as a maintenance worker with Orange & Rockland Utilities Inc., died, his widow looked for a way to preserve his love of the outdoors. Mrs. Baxter turned to ESF with a $25,000 gift that established the Herbert B. Baxter Endowed Scholarship. It was her first association with the college.

“Mrs. Baxter has a lot of empathy for students who might not be able to afford to attend college,” said ESF Director of Development Gary A. Waters. “She endowed this scholarship for all the right reasons.

It’s an act of pure philanthropy and generosity.”

“My husband loved the woods and he had always lived near the woods. He loved to hunt and fish,” Mrs. Baxter said. “I felt there must be other people who would be like that, who would love the woods. I hoped the scholarship would go to a student who would learn a lot about conservation.”

The first student to benefit from the scholarship is Michael R. Barnhart of McGraw, N.Y. As Mrs. Baxter hoped, Barnhart shares Herbert Baxter’s love of the outdoors.

“I like getting away, the feeling of being in a group of people and everyone’s hunting. It’s a big bonding thing, I guess,” he said.

Barnhart started hunting when he was about seven.

His mentor was his grandfather, Bob Rood, who lives up the street from Barnhart’s family in McGraw.

“I was excited to be out there,” Barnhart remembered. “I’d seen the deer he came home Michael R.

Gift From International Paper Funds Scholarship Program For Minority Students

by Claire B. Dunn Minority students who want to pursue the study of forestry at ESF have a new avenue available to them: a scholarship funded by International Paper Co. The establishment of the scholarship—a $20,000 gift to the college— coincides with the completion of International Paper’s first century in business.

“Birthdays cause institutions as well as people to reflect. IP is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year,” said Thomas C. Jorling, the former commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, who is now International Paper’s vice president for environmental affairs.

Jorling and Thomas E. Amidon, a 1968 ESF alumnus who is a laboratory manager with International Paper, said minority groups are traditionally underrepresented in the field of forestry.

“It’s terribly difficult to hire undergraduates who are members of minorities. It’s difficult to find African-American candidates to interview,” Amidon said. “IP needs employees who are part of a broader world. In forestry, the student population is not a reflection of the world at large.”

Jorling said the scholarship, which is supported by all of International Paper’s facilities in New York state, could fund a student’s fouryear undergraduate career at ESF. He hopes that this support acts as a catalyst to bring more minorities into the field. Jorling said the company chose to establish the scholar-

ship at ESF because of the college’s international reputation in forestry.

“Every kid, at some point, wants to be a forest ranger,” Jorling said.

“Minority students want to enjoy the outdoors, they just don’t have the support structure.

“Our effort to reach the goal of a more inclusive, more diverse workforce can only be met if the institutions that feed us reach and include a more diverse student body,” he said.

College President Ross S. Whaley said the gift will enrich ESF’s student body as well as increase the diversity of forestry professionals.

“This scholarship allows ESF to reach out in a new way to capable students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue studies here,” Whaley said. “A partnership of this sort between ESF and International Paper can only benefit the college, the company, and the forestry profession.”

Since the college was founded in 1911, forestry has been one of the mainstays of ESF’s broad variety of environmental programs. There are 100 undergraduate and 88 graduate students enrolled in the Faculty of Forestry. They have the option of taking specialized courses in recreation resources management, water resources management, or wood products.

The scholarship is the most recent link between the college and the company. International Paper regularly recruits and hires ESF graduates.

Dunn is assistant director of News and Publications at ESF.

A Look At President Ross S. Whaley’s Tenure

by Jeri Lynn Smith “When Ross first came to campus,” said ESF Provost William P. Tully, “he predicted that campus would change him more than he would change the campus.”

That Ross S. Whaley has changed is true. Through 15 years as president of the College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Whaley has seen many things. His hair is thinner and grayer, the college’s budget has eroded and its enrollment increased. He has seen issues centering on the environment wax and wane and wax in the national consciousness again. He has become a grandfather. And he has learned—the painful lesson, he says—how to ‘hold my hand out and ask for cash from perfect strangers’ in the name of student scholarships and academic programs at ESF. But who, or which, has changed more?

Appointed president April 1, 1984, Whaley oversaw both ESF’s physical and programmatic expansion. The new Edwin C. Jahn Laboratory, completed in 1997, leads a major campus renovation program that follows with significant upgrades planned for the Ranger School in Wanakena and the Hugh P. Baker Laboratory on the main campus.

Under his leadership, a number of interdisciplinary and cooperative academic programs were created including initiatives in writing, computing, biotechnology, geographic information systems, renewable materials, and science education.

Yet Whaley never strayed far from his, or ESF’s, roots in forestry and in teaching.

“He has a wealth of knowledge and practical experience,” said Jack P. Manno, senior staff associate with the Great Lakes Research Consortium. Manno has both taken courses taught by Whaley and joined Whaley in teaching classes.

He does a good job of translating that real-world experience— from work in the Adirondacks, for example—to students, Manno says.

“Ross sees the relationship between economic development and environmental protection as a very rich one. He’s always pushing and trying to find the right balance.”

Whaley initiated a number of programs to significantly increase student and staff diversity and viewed his leadership role as one more collegial than imperial. continued on page 26

‘Not Whether, But When, To Leave’

by Ross S. Whaley On the 23rd of October I announced to our college board of trustees that I would like to step aside from the presidency of ESF. Why would I do that when I have claimed for the past several years that I have the best job in all of higher education?

More accurately, I had the best job for anyone simultaneously interested in higher education administration and the management of our renewable resources and environment. So why change?

As I have explained to many of my colleagues at ESF, it wasn’t a matter of whether to leave the position of president, but when. Now seemed like a good time. The college is in good financial, physical, and programmatic shape. We have a faculty and staff of which we all can be proud. It is a time that a new president—with a new vision for the future, a new personality—could step into a leadership role and make a difference without facing a long list of problems to be solved.

The new president would inherit an administrative team that is among the best in SUNY. Simply, the time is right for ESF. And for me personally.

I came to Syracuse in 1984 and will have served as president for 15 years—the longest that I have held any position since the beginning of my career. It is time for the personal rejuvenation that comes with new challenges. Besides, I have some unfinished business, and it is largely academic business.

I was originally attracted to higher education because of a desire to teach and perhaps contribute some new ideas to the management of our precious land resources through research. I got sidetracked from that initial attraction within the first five years of my academic career.

This has been an absolutely wonderful diversion. It allowed me to play a small role in developing a working environment in which others more directly involved in the learning process could succeed. I, indeed, have been blessed with an opportunity to work with outstanding faculty members and motivated students.

Much of what we have accomplished at ESF is linked to the support that we get from our many patrons—the agencies that fund our research, the foundations that give us grants, and,

most importantly, the alumni and friends who generously contribute to our programs. You, who are recognized in this honor roll of donors, are much more important to us than a simple thank you can convey.

There are students at ESF who might not be here if it wasn’t for the financial aid that your gifts have made possible. There is very sophisticated equipment in Jahn Laboratory that would not be there without your support.

Without that equipment, we could not rightly claim that ours is the finest chemistry education facility in New York. There are institutes and centers on campus, such as the Pack Institute and Joachim Center that would not exist without the vision and financial backing of friends of ESF. As I have often mentioned, there is a less tangible, but very notable, benefit from your generosity. We on the ESF faculty and administration think that we are doing extremely important work, work of domestic and international significance, work critically important to society today and in the future. Your contributions to ESF confirm that you agree.

With that endorsement, we successfully weather the mixed messages associated with state budget ups and downs. At times these variations in state support are caused by the health of the state’s economy. At other times they reflect what is hot or what is not in the current political arena.

High quality education for the future leaders who will influence the quality of our environment and the availability of natural resources should be insulated from the extremes of the political pendulum. You, our supporters, supply a fair share of that insulation, thus playing a vital role in our successes, indeed.

My enthusiasm for my job as president of ESF has very much been due to your enthusiasm and support for our mission. For that I thank you.

“Ross has been the perfect colleague,” said Syracuse University Chancellor Kenneth A. Shaw. “There was never an issue that couldn’t be resolved amicably. We played our respective presidential roles, but this never interfered with our reaching agreement on substantive issues.

“I attribute much of this to Ross’ laid-back style, yet stubborn persistence. He has been a great friend.”

Whaley has described himself on more than one occasion as both scribe and gatekeeper. Ideas, goals, programs—all were things to be pursued together rather than directed from the top down.

“He gives incredible latitude to people who work for him,” says Tully. “He truly values the opinions of everyone, and will listen to and draw on all employees.”

His decision to step down as president, said Whaley, was made in large part because he felt comfortable with what he saw at ESF. “We have a strong, well-qualified management team in place,” he says. It is, of course, the team he put into place.

While keeping ESF close to its roots programmatically, he also worked hard to extend the college’s reach and influence.

In addition to his duties as ESF president, Whaley has pursued an impressive array of public and professional service activities.

These included chairmanship of the State Needs Task Force on Environmental Conservation and the Governor’s Task Force on Forest Industry. He was president of the Society of American Foresters in 1991.

Whaley served as a member of the board of the Pinchot Institute of Conservation Studies and as the board’s president in 1992. He also was a member of the Governor’s Interstate Task Force on Northern Forest Lands.

“Ross’ own notion of public service and his commitment to see it through has brought ESF increased recognition and brought about an increased understanding of ESF,” said Tully. “People in the community know the best of us because of him.”

Dr. Charles M. Spuches, director of Instructional Development, Evaluation, and Services (IDEaS), described an event connected with “ESF in the High School,” a pilot program he coordinates this semester at Skaneateles High for juniors and seniors interested in science and the environment. “I needed some good speakers that would get these kids excited,” said Spuches.

Spuches emailed Whaley, along with a half-dozen other individuals on campus, explained the project and his need.

“Within 24 hours I had a response from Ross volunteering to go!

And he was great—he wowed them.”

Only at ESF could you email the president—a man with appointments in Albany and Washington as well as a host of critical issues facing him—and get that kind of response, said Spuches.

Whaley once told this author that his great goal in life was “to be the best teacher, the best professor, I could possibly be.”

As he begins a renewed career as teacher and ambassador for ESF following three decades in administrative work, Whaley has a new opportunity to continue pursuing his dream.

Smith is director of News and Publications at ESF.

‘The Backbone Of The Foundation’

by R. Leland Davis In recent years the ESF College Foundation has evolved in a manner similar to most growing organizations. Founded originally in 1963, the foundation for many years primarily concentrated on introducing new friends to the college and keeping alumni involved in another dimension of the college’s affairs. Over time, as its assets grew, the foundation developed comprehensive investment and fiscal management policies. Today, the foundation manages endowed funds of over $5.4 million and 17 properties that have been donated to it. Most properties are for sale to establish new endowed funds, though a few are managed for timber income and research purposes.

It is wellknown and documented that in R. Leland Davis recent years SUNY funding, as a percentage of the total ESF budget, has decreased.

President Whaley has discussed this many times while doing a remarkable job of leading the college during some lean years. It is in this context that the ESF College Foundation recognizes the need to help the college secure greater financial support in the coming years.

An immediate challenge to both the college and the foundation is to heighten awareness among alumni about the interconnected relation-

ship of both organizations. For many years, the ESF Alumni Association took responsibility for much of the college’s fund raising. Indeed, it was the Alumni Association that initiated the ESF Annual Fund to provide scholarships for students needing financial assistance to attend ESF. While gifts to the Annual Fund were directed to the foundation, it was alumni who provided them.

However, as an outcome of change, the college, foundation, and alumni association are redefining their fund-raising roles and responsibilities. In an effort to broaden the college’s fund-raising base beyond alumni, the development office is coordinating all fund-raising activities. In effect, the development office is the ESF intersection where alumni and the foundation connect. This in no way diminishes the importance of alumni participation, but instead reflects a belief that if given the opportunity, other constituencies will also support ESF. I am extremely proud of what the ESF College Foundation has accomplished. By the same token, it is equally important that I emphasize that ESF alumni are not only full partners, but are the most important partners. While several alumni currently sit on the foundation board of directors, a stated objective of the foundation is to increase alumni membership with a special focus on building a national representation.

The donors listed in this publication are the backbone of the ESF College Foundation. Their cumula-

tive gifts are the dollars listed in giving totals reported by the foundation. More important than numbers, however, is the very tangible impact these gifts have on the lives of students, faculty, and all others whom ESF serves.

Few colleges or universities are as unique or important as ESF. It is my honor and pleasure to serve as president of the ESF College Foundation. To all alumni and donors listed in this “honor roll,” thank you on behalf of the foundation. Together, we will accomplish even greater success in the future.

Members of the ESF College Foundation recognize that ESF will require ever-greater resources in the future to remain as one of America’s premier institutions in forestry and the environmental sciences. To that end, a strategic plan created nearly three years ago was refined this year and titled “The Margin of Excellence.” This expression reflects an understanding that although ESF is a quality institution, additional support will push it to even greater heights.

In the past there has been both uncertainty about what the foundation is and how it helps the college.

I believe these questions are diminishing but are not yet eliminated.

Answering these questions is a challenge I look forward to meeting.

The greatest message to communicate is that the goals of the ESF College Foundation are synonymous with those of alumni and every other constituency interested in ESF. Davis, president of the ESF College Foundation Inc. since 1997, is president of Galson Corporation, a multidisciplinary consulting, design, and engineering firm headquartered in East Syracuse.

‘Smiling and Dialing’ For Scholarship Funds

by Carol Boll Charlene Griffin picks up the telephone receiver and dials. She smiles.

“Hello. My name is Charlene Griffin, and I’m calling from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry…”

It’s one of about 80 calls Griffin would make as she and three other students “smiled and dialed” their way through one November evening soliciting pledges for SUNY-ESF’s Annual Fund.

Her reasons for joining the fund drive are simple: “I get scholarship money from the school to go here,” said Griffin, a landscape architecture major. “So this is kind of a giving-back thing for me. I hope I can start putting more people on the pathway of finding this important.”

This year’s Annual Fund campaign aims to raise $200,000 toward student scholarship funding, said Karen Welch, assistant director of Development. It’s the first year ESF students have been recruited to make the pledge calls to alumni. Previous campaigns were handled by Syracuse University.

From mid-September to mid-November, eight student callers worked the phones four nights a week in Bray Hall, logging 80 to 100 calls per night, taking pledges and updating alumni records. They resumed calling in February.

Callers, earning $5.50 an hour for about six hours work a week, include Griffin, Dan Lamon␣ ’01, Sarah Collamer␣ ’01, Kerry McElroy␣ ’03, Meredith Massey␣ ’02, Sara Wilson␣ ’99, Brianna Gary␣ ’00, Simona Rock␣ ’01, Aisha Hinton␣ ’00, Robert Freese ‘00, Brian Thrippleton␣ ’02, Leah Bogdan␣ ’02, Kristin Kowalski␣ ’01, Leah Huntington␣ ’02, and Ritti Suvilaisunthorn␣ ’99.

The students span ESF’s curricula.

Asking alumni for money, the students admit, took some getting used to, and the words came haltingly at first.

with alumni in a meaningful way.

She recalls, in particular, her chat with an alumnus whose wife recently had died.

“We had a real good conversation,” she said. “I didn’t feel like I was soliciting. He was lonely, and I tried to make him feel better.”

She followed up the call by writing the alumnus a short note of encouragement.

While the students would get an occasional dodge, they also have encountered many alums who relish the opportunity to chat about their alma mater. They ask about departmental changes or the student’s major.

Sometimes they offer career advice; on rare occasions, a job.

“I like talking to people,” said Collamer.

Kerry McElroy ’03 on the phone for ESF. “Even when they don’t “One guy told me to call back donate, it’s a lot of fun. They’ve when I knew what I was saying,” given me a lot of advice. And it’s my Collamer, a sophomore forestry only contact with alumni.” major, said with a laugh.

Lamon agrees. One alumnus, he “The first week or two, I stumbled said, chatted with him for 30 minthrough the words a lot,” agreed utes, asking about SU sports and the Lamon, a senior studying landscape weather, discussing his business, architecture. “But now I’ve gotten and offering career pointers. the routine down, and it’s really a Another “invited me to come lot of fun.” down to visit her business in WashWelch, who joined the nightly ington, D.C., so she could introduce calling sessions ready to troubleme to the landscape architect she shoot or offer support as the need works with,” Lamon said. arose, says all the students were a “I probably won’t go,” he added, bit nervous at first. “But one by one, “but it’s nice to know the invitation they dove right in there,” she said. is there.”

ESF’s director of Financial Aid, John E. View, has a list of stories about students who probably would not have made it through college without help from the ESF College Foundation: • A graduate student, completing work on her doctorate, suffered a severe back injury. It kept her out of work for an entire summer while she was preparing to defend her dissertation. With scholarship support from the foundation, the student was able to finish working on her Ph.D. without creating hardship on her family.

• A minority student headed off to medical school armed with lots of talent, her bachelor’s degree, and a GPA of 3.9. She took along very little debt, thanks to scholarships from the foundation.

• A fifth-year landscape architecture student, who maintained a 3.25 GPA while bearing the responsibility of being a single parent, had the experience of a lifetime during her required semester off campus. She traveled to Prague in the Czech Republic—a trip that would have been impossible without scholarship funds from the foundation.

“The importance of scholarships cannot be overstated,” View said.

“Some of these students wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the help they receive. And those are their words, not mine.”

During the 1997-98 academic year, the ESF College Foundation awarded some $200,000 to more than 200 students. At least 20 percent of them—some 40 students—are members of minority groups.

There are about 1,300 students, both graduates and undergraduates, at ESF who have demonstrated some degree of financial need, View said.

ESF ANNUAL FUND

Historically, American farmers went to the bank each spring to borrow money to buy seed for the year’s crops—loans ideally repaid out of profits made when the harvest was brought in and sold.

Today, “seed money” launches new high-tech ventures, funds exploratory projects in corporate or university R&D laboratories, or establishes entrepreneurs (or students) on a secure career path.

It is, says the dictionary, an “investment.” And, when you contribute to one of the college’s development programs, you invest in success: • ESF is second out of SUNY’s 64 units in per capita research expenditures—a significant measure of faculty productivity. Only the University at Stony Brook ranks higher.

• SAT scores and high school rankings place first-year ESF students in the top 10 percent of all students attending the 230 colleges and universities in New York.

• ESF, one of SUNY’s smallest campuses, has a higher percentage of academic programs nationally ranked by professional societies than other much, much larger units.

• Proportionally, ESF has more curricular areas of international reputation than other schools of environmental science in the country.

• Not an “ivory tower” university, ESF program units, faculty, and staff provide more than 21,000 incidents of professional and community service annually.

Such accomplishments are not cheap. More students seek entry into the college’s programs, and more need assistance to cover the cost of tuition. The costs of academic, research, and specialized equipment that keeps college programs competitive increase daily. New academic and research program ventures—another highly competitive area for colleges and universities—need start-up funds: seed money.

As you mature, enjoy career and life successes, and realize your own profit from your college education, perhaps it is time to repay the “loans” made in the spring of your life.

When an ESF student calls, please respond generously. The seed money you invest today will generate handsome dividends for ESF tomorrow: • Ample scholarship funds to attract and support the best and brightest students.

• Accomplished instructors and researchers with the support and materials they need to discover and pass on new knowledge.

• Innovative program ventures to address society’s growing need for a clean and productive environment.

With your help, the College of Environmental Science and Forestry will face a secure future.
