A compass keeps you on the right path to your destination – where you belong. As a student at the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, you had a compass to lead you on your journey to graduation and perhaps into your career in industry. It may have taken the form of a beloved professor, an advisor or fellow classmate.
