It is my pleasure to serve as president of the College of Forest Resources Alumni Association for 2004-05. We are part of the UW Alumni Association and serve as your link to the college and your fellow forestry graduates.

One of our priorities is to promote communication between the UW and our alumni. This new newsletter is part of that effort, and we want you to be involved. Send us your feedback and ideas so we can produce the best possible communications for you.

We are always looking to update our list of e-mail addresses for college alumni, so please let us know if we don't have your current address or if there is someone else we should add.

I know that I have great pride in the UW, and that the best way to show my Husky pride is by joining the UWAA. I hope you too will become a member. You will get a slew of member benefits - but most importantly, you will be putting your support of the college and the UW into action. Thanks for reading, and welcome!
