Outstanding Faculty of the Year nominations

Student and faculty awards will be presented at the GSS. Each year SFRC students select the Outstanding Faculty of the Year and present them with an award. We need nominations from YOU (forestry graduate students) for this faculty award. To nominate a faculty member, please write a short nomination letter explaining how this person has contributed to graduate students in the categories of scholarship, mentorship, and service.

Spring Celebration

Silent auction items needed

FGSO will hold a silent auction at the SFRC Spring Celebration on Saturday April 11th. Last year we raised over $500 which has allowed FGSO to award service scholarships to graduate students involved in FGSO. We need help acquiring nice items for this years silent auction. If you have a favorite business in Gainesville, please consider asking them to donate an item or service. If you would like a letter template for contacting businesses, please email Maggie Clifford at mclifford @ ufl.edu
