Winter 2024/25

We launch the year-long celebration of 100 years of forestry education, research, and outreach at Virginia Tech on February 25 with the inaugural John F. Hosner Distinguished Lecture, made possible with an endowment created by the generosity of his wife Tenna Hosner, and enabling an annual distinguished lecture in perpetuity. Hosner, honorary founding dean of the college, would have been 100 years old on this date and our celebration comes at a serendipitous timing of events, including honoring J. Wilbur O’Byrne, the first forester hired at Virginia Tech 100 years ago. Click the photo to read more.
