Our Giving Day Priorities

Wally Covington Student Travel Award

The award supports undergraduate and graduate student travel to conferences, short courses, workshops, and other student learning and professional development opportunities.

Forestry Faculty Scholarship

Funds are used to support deserving students in the School of Forestry. Funds can be used for equipment, travel, and other costs in support of student learning.

Dr. Yeon-Su Kim Endowed Memorial Scholarship

The Dr. Yeon-Su Kim Endowed Memorial Scholarship honors the legacy of Dr. Kim, a visionary leader in ecological economics and advocate for underrepresented communities in Forestry. Your gift supports students pursuing careers in Forestry Economics, reflecting her lifelong commitment to mentorship, inclusion, and global collaboration.

Forestry General Fund

A gift to the School of Forestry General Fund empowers students and faculty to meet the moment—providing flexible, high-impact support for the school’s most pressing and emerging needs. These funds make it possible to sustain immersive, field-based learning experiences, invest in essential lab equipment, and deepen student engagement through clubs and hands-on opportunities. Just as importantly, they enable faculty to pursue innovative, community-centered research and outreach that respond to the evolving challenges facing our forests and the communities that depend on them.
