The Forestry Executive Committee includes representatives from every unit in the College of Forestry and advises the dean on the administration and management of the college.
It provides diverse perspectives and serves as a conduit to faculty, staff and students. The committee also connects the dean’s office with the college’s active committees and advisory groups.
