Past Honor Alumni
The Distinguished Ecologist Series brings internationally-known scientists to CSU for two to three days to present their cutting-edge research and to interact with students and faculty in a number of formal and informal settings. In 2007, the series was expanded to include one Resident Distinguished Ecologist and one GDPE Honor Alumna/Alumnus. These ecologists are nominated by GDPE faculty and students, and chosen by the GDPE Executive Committee.
