The Institute of Forestry integrates hands-on professional education, applied research, and practical forest management, and manages the College Forest—nearly 10,000 acres of productive timberland plus additional mountains, streams, wetlands, ponds, and lakes—as well as a student logging crew, a 2,400-tap maple sugarbush, and an expanding portfolio of off-campus contract forestry work with private, municipal, state and federal partners. A core expectation of this role is end-to-end project management, including work planning; coordinating student employees and other personnel; assisting in budget management, including purchasing; and assisting with grant spending, tracking, and reporting in collaboration with the Institute Director, the Office of Strategic Initiatives, and the Finance Office.
