fall 2012 Looking Back . . . Looking Forward yale school of forestry & environmental studies

Dear Friends and Colleagues

As we embark again on a new academic year, with orientation, the class expo and the other rituals that mark the beginning of the fall semester, it gives me great pleasure to reflect upon the extraordinary spirit that already characterizes the Class of 2014. On Sunday, August 5, under the oak tree in Marsh Gardens, I welcomed 143 master’s students from 31 U.S. states and territories and 24 coun- tries and a few days later the new students headed o≠ to MODs. They returned with the energy and enthusiasm that I have come to recognize as the hallmark of F&ES students and alumni, and they are now engaged in the academic year and this new phase in their lives with even more vigor. They joined a new cohort of doctoral students and our returning master’s students in the Class of 2013.

In the inevitable cycle of academic life, the new influx of knowledge, curiosity and energy followed the departure of another group of students by only a few months. Commencement 2012, though rainy, was no less celebratory as we hon- ored the 87 students who received a master’s degree in environmental manage- ment, 32 in environmental science, 11 in forest science and nine in forestry. Nine students received doctoral degrees and 22 joint degrees were granted in business administration, international relations, divinity, religion and law. I hope you’re as delighted as I am to welcome them all into the vibrant body of F&ES alumni.

Although I am entering my fourth year as Dean, I am continually impressed anew by the passion, loyalty and achievement of our School’s alumni and friends. Time and time again, alumni answer the call and support F&ES through financial contributions; volunteer service as Class Agents for the Annual Fund, Class Secretaries, and members of the Alumni Association Board; mentoring and employing current students and alumni; and serving as valuable classroom resources for our faculty. They are joined by equally generous and passionate friends of the School, who are linked to F&ES not by diplomas but by common cause. I am deeply grateful to all of you for making possible our unique F&ES community and the accomplishments detailed in the following pages.

With all best regards

Dean Peter Crane

On April 19– 20, F&ES hosted its Leadership Council, focusing on the 30 years of the joint degree program between F&ES and SOM. Alumni panelists, all working at the nexus of business and the environment, spoke of the training and experience that led them to their current position; the trends and innovations that they anticipate in the coming 30 years; and how Yale can address training and education needs and opportunities in pre- paring the next generation of environmental leaders.

One great pleasure of this annual meeting is the announcement of the Sabin Prize Winners. The fellowship provides a maximum of $35,000 in support for master’s students—up to $20,000 for tuition for the second year of master’s study and up to $15,000 in post-graduation awards. Ten F&ES students received awards this year.

5 yale school of forestry & environmental studies annual report Overall Fundraising

fter a banner fundraising year in FY 2011, the A goals and achievement for FY 12 were more modest, with a total fundraising achievement of $6.51 million. Goals for unrestricted giving, including the Annual Fund, and for current scholarship giving were either met or exceeded. Notable gifts included the establishment of a new endowment to support the bringing of conservation professionals to F&ES, as well as a new grant to support further research on the public’s understanding, attitudes and behaviors relating to climate change. Thanks to the generous support of the School’s alumni and friends, F&ES continues to go from strength to strength and solidify its position at the forefront of educating the world’s leaders in forestry and environmental management and science.

Gold Silver Bronze Class of 2012 Class of 1985 Class of 1967 Looking Ahead

With Kroon Hall — one of the biggest successes of the Yale Tomorrow capital campaign — fi rmly established as the academic and administrative home of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, the focus of the School’s fundrais- ing e≠orts has turned to human capital — seeking expansion of scholarship funds for master’s students and fellowship funds for doctoral students. Preparing the world’s best students to become the environmental leaders of tomorrow is the abiding mission of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. Unfortunately, bright and passionately committed students occasion- ally cannot attend F&ES due to insu≤cient fi nancial aid, a situation that has occurred more frequently during the global economic struggles of recent years. The new fundraising initiative beginning this fall will allow F&ES to shore up the School’s fi nancial aid program, recruit and train the best and brightest students regardless of their fi nancial circum- stances, and send them out into the world prepared to create a more sustainable future for us all.

7 yale school of forestry & environmental studies class of 2014 MODs 1.0 — the series of orientation modules that introduce incoming students to the School, New Haven and one another — once again marked the start of this academic year at F&ES. First to arrive on campus, our 37 international students received specialized informa- tion and resources to help them acclimate to life in the United States. Shortly thereafter, the Class of 2014, at full strength of 143 master’s students, put boots to the ground in a carefully orchestrated set of shifting group- ings designed to give each student a chance to connect with as many of their new classmates as possible.

The Class of 2014 completed MODs with a strong intro- duction to field skills and problem-solving techniques — urban system analysis, land management and map- ping, and ecosystem management — that will serve them well throughout their years at F&ES and beyond. This class constitutes 101 M.E.M., 27 M.E.Sc., 10 M.F. and five M.F.S.

donor spotlight: J. Willcox Brown M.F.’41, and Natale Brown M.N. ’41 (Nursing) J. Willcox Brown lived a remarkably accomplished, adventurous and altruistic life. Will and his wife Natale (“Nat”), who received her graduate degree from Yale School of Nursing in 1941, traveled the world — attending the United Nations Conference of Habitat in Vancouver, B.C., and the Water Conference in Argentina, among other adventures — and worked hard to protect their corner of it, in particular their longtime hometown of Dunbarton, N.H. In addition to Will’s work as a forester, the dedicated pair contributed time, energy and resources to the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, the Audubon Society and countless other local, state, national and international nonproft organizations. They never forgot their experiences at Yale and were consistent supporters of their graduate schools through decades of gifts to their respective Annual Funds. This spring, F&ES received word that Will and Nat’s pattern of thoughtfulness and generosity had extended even into their estate planning. With Nat’s death last December, the plans that she and Will had made before his death in 2005 took e≠ect, triggering generous bequests to the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and the School of Nursing. We are tremendously grateful for the munifcence of this remarkable couple, who did their best to leave their schools, community and world better than they found them.

donor spotlight: Edward L. Strohbehn B.A. ’62, B.E. ’63, M.A. ’66, LL.B. ’69 Edward Strohbehn has been one of F&ES’s most dedicated friends for years. As a founder of nrdc and a longtime environmental attorney, Edward’s experience and commitment to the environment made him an ideal candidate to serve on the School’s Leadership Council, where he is one of the founding members. In addition to unstintingly sharing his time and expertise, Edward has been a consistently generous fnancial supporter, as well. Edward and his wife, Heather L. Ross, share a passionate commitment to the importance of fnancial aid, and began their philanthropic relationship with the School in 2004 with a gift to the Dean’s Current Use Scholarship Fund. Delighted with their experiences meeting the students they had funded, Edward and Heather established an endowed scholarship fund for master's students in 2007. Last year, Edward increased his support of the School yet again, by announcing his intention to add t0 the endowed fund via bequest. Dean Crane speaks for the entire School in thanking Edward: “I am honored that, through your thoughtfulness and foresight, the Edward L. Strohbehn, Jr. and Heather L. Ross Scholars fund will support even greater numbers of talented F&ES students in the future.”

Although we have made every e≠ort to recognize everyone who has generously contributed in support of the students and programs at F&ES, we apologize if any name has been inadvertently omitted.

F. Herbert Bormann, an ecologist at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies who along with Gene Likens discovered acid rain in North America, died on June 7 in North Branford, Connecticut. He was 90. Dr. Bormann joined the faculty at Yale in 1966 and taught there until his retirement in 1992. At his death, he was the Oastler Professor Emeritus of Forest Ecology and a senior research scientist. Before joining Yale, he was a professor at Dartmouth College. While there, he conceived of the idea to use watersheds to study ecosystems. In 1963, with Likens and Noye Johnson, both of Dartmouth, and Robert Pierce of the U.S. Forest Service, he established the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study with a National Science Foundation grant at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in central New Hampshire to study F. Herbert Bormann forest ecosystems. (1922–2012) Since then, scores of scientists from universities around the country, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Geological Survey have conducted research at Hubbard Brook, resulting in the most substantial body of work on the functioning of ecosys- tems in the world and making the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study a scientific model, both nationally and internationally. In 1971, Drs. Bormann and Likens discovered that, as in Europe, rain and snow at Hubbard Brook were acidic. In a paper published in Science in 1974, “Acid Rain: A Serious Regional Environmental Problem,” they showed that acid rain was a widespread problem in the Northeast. The results were published in The New York Times, and his testimony on acid rain aided Congress in writing the Clean Air Act. While at Yale, he taught and developed courses on ecosys- tems, ecology and land use, and he was instrumental in the creation of a teaching and research program for tropical studies now known as the Tropical Resources Institute at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. His courses were much sought-after, and he remained influential in many of his students’ lives long after graduation.

2012 commencement Here We Are By Emily Schosid M.E.M. ’12 Hi, everyone. I was asked to speak at my under- graduate graduation ceremony, which was totally nerve-wracking and stressful. After I sweated my way through the speech, I said to myself, “Thank God I never have to do that again.” That said, I am completely thrilled and honored and humbled that my classmates chose me to speak with Renee for you all today. So I wrote you a poem. It’s called, “Here We Are.”

So. Here we are F&ES. I have five minutes to speak Pique your interest, Inspire, describe the fire That burns inside your souls, All those memorable words That a graduation speech requires. I was tempted to Fill these five minutes with So many stories and tales Successes and fails Pursuits and bails From my own time here All of the pieces of just one Very long, strange trip (and yes, I know it’s lame to reference the Grateful Dead in a speech like this.

Transcending the Status Quo By Renee Kaufman M.E.M. ’12

During the ceremony on old campus, someone told me that our dean of students has been worried about my speech. Apparently she sees me as kind of wild card. Exactly. (Removal of graduation robe.) Removing my robe was a little bit risky, and little bit radical, and a little bit disruptive, and completely calculated. I could list all the reasons why that graduation robe doesn’t work for me (such as my mother’s opinion), why I don’t think it works for any of you either (again, my mother’s opinion), but the point of this wardrobe cor- rection, of this attention-getting gesture, was to communicate two things: One, it’s crucial to get people’s attention. Two, the status quo comes in many guises and most of them do not and should not work for those of us earning our environmental degrees today. We have to be vigilant. We came to this School to learn how to challenge the status quo—because it is incompatible with the School’s mission and

52 the record JI fall 2012

our collective goal to “sustain and restore the long-term health of the biosphere and the well-being of its people.” Whatever you call it—the status quo, business as usual, the rules of the game, the establishment or the mainstream—it stands between us and transformation. We came to this school because we each saw an immense problem and chose to make its solution the center of our lives. At the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, we walk the talk. But, dear lord, how politely we walk. We are polite as we analyze, and we are measured as we research, and we are diplomatic as we collaborate. We seek to convince and not to o≠end. With respect and rigor, this institution builds knowledge and legitimacy. And rightly so. But not entirely so. As students, we seek and attain the authority that comes with exper- tise. As advocates, it is imperative that we both inhabit and transcend our expertise. And it is imperative that we get people’s attention. Do we know how? The mainstream demonstrates awesome capacity for getting people’s attention. Just last week, I came across a line in a magazine that got mine: “Live for greatness,” it said. Live for greatness. As an ambitious woman, as an idealistic woman, as a sentimental woman, that line lit me up. But not in the way its author intended. Because it was an ad for Rolex, showing a pink gold watch, limited edition, decorated with diamonds. It reminded me, with violent impact, that the mainstream is exactly where it’s been for decades. It made me feel very, very impolite. It made me feel radical. It made me feel disruptive. And those are feel- ings I do not want to soften, in me or in any of us. For me, to live for greatness means fire and fury and transcending the status quo. Do you still feel the fire and the fury that brought you to this School? I do. In fact, I feel it more than when I got here and more than I was expecting. I came here for an education and what I got was a transformation. The quest for expertise has not subdued me, it’s ignited me. In a few minutes, we will each earn a Yale diploma—the institutional pinnacle of expertise and cultural norms. Yes... there is tension in a degree that both reinforces and challenges the status quo. So… secure in our legitimacy, we can a≠ord to be a little less polite, to be a little more radical, to be a little more disruptive. In fact, I don’t think we can a≠ord not to be. So at this, our climactic moment, let us celebrate the untamable wild fire in each of us.
