The Forestry Executive Committee (FEC) is intended to provide the dean with a) diverse perspectives on the administration and management of the College; b) a conduit outward to faculty, students, and staff regarding the administration of the College; and c) connection to the active committees of the College. FEC is embedded in the quarterly All-College Meetings. For voting activities, executive sessions are scheduled as needed.
