The CSU Experience
“Being a student in the Warner College of Natural Resources provided me with a graduate school experience that was not only challenging and rewarding, but also prepared me well for a career in natural resources that I am passionate about. Specifically, learning and understanding the complex relationship between natural resources and humans, a specialty in WCNR, has allowed me to excel at my job.”
