Michael Mortimer, director of graduate programs for the college in the National Capital Region, has been elected a Fellow of the Society of American Foresters (SAF).

Fellows are selected to honor SAF members who have provided outstanding contributions to the society and the forestry profession, and are limited to only 5 percent of the society’s more than 14,000 members. “Being elected a Fellow in the Society of American Foresters puts me in the company of some of the most prominent and distinguished forestry professionals and scholars in the country, a great honor for me,” said Mortimer.
