GRCC Students Receive National Congratulations
GRCC's award-winning Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters (SAF) tied for third place in 2005 and first place in 2006 as Student Chapter of the Year. The goals of the GRCC Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters are education, knowledge, experience, and fun. During winter quarter, members attended the Washington-Oregon Leadership Conference and the Oregon Logging Conference. In October of 2006, five students and co-advisor Rob Sjogren attended the SAF national convention in Pittsburgh. In 2007, the Student Chapter is co-hosting the student activities of the SAF national convention with Oregon State University at Portland. Attending many area and state meetings provides the students with a unique opportunity to meet natural resource professionals and network with potential employers. The Chapter hosts meetings for other chapters each year, which brings professionals to view and discuss what the students are doing and learning.
The GRCC Student Chapter is the custodian of the Washington State Society's "Wildfire in Washington" display that you may have seen at the Western Washington Fair (Puyallup) or at the Lewis Creek Park Visitor Center (Bellevue).
