三、英文介绍

1、发展历程

ESF was created through a special bill signed by New York s Governor John Alden Dix in 1911, which established the College as the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University. Unlike other New York state-supported degree-granting institutions which had been created, or would eventually be created, at other private institutions in New York State, the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University was an autonomous institution that was administratively not part of its host institution. In other words, the forestry college was not administratively part of Syracuse University. This is in contrast to New York s contract colleges such as the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, which is a part of Cornell University.

With the formation of the State University of New York (SUNY) in 1948, the College became recognized as a specialized college within the SUNY system. The College s name was changed to State University College of Forestry at Syracuse University. In 1972, the College s name was changed yet again to State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Students supplement their education with courses taken at Syracuse University.

ESF has academic departments in the fields of chemistry; construction management and wood products engineering; environmental and forest biology; environmental resources and forest engineering; environmental science; environmental studies; forest and natural resources management; landscape architecture; and paper and bioprocess engineering.

3、校园生活

Many students identify themselves as a Stumpy (or Stumpie ). The nickname was given to students by their neighbors at Syracuse University, probably in the 1920s, and most-likely rers to forestry stump jumpers . Although originally used as an insult, today, most students embrace the nickname with pride.

Students at the Syracuse campus enjoy many activities on and off campus. There are a number of student clubs and organizations at ESF, including the Undergraduate Student Association, Graduate Student Association, Woodsmen Team, Bob Marshall Club, Alpha Xi Sigma Honor Society, Soccer Club, Sigma Lambda Alpha Honor Society, The Knothole (weekly newspaper), Papyrus Club, The Empire Forester (yearbook), Landscape Architecture Club (formally the Mollet Club), Forest Engineers Club, Habitat for Humanity, Ecologue (yearly journal), the Bioethics Society, Green Campus Initiative, and Baobab Society. Wanakena students have their own woodsmen and ice hockey teams. A number of professional organizations are also open to student membership, including the Society of American Foresters, Wildlife Society, American Fisheries Association, and the (currently dunct) American Water Resources Association.

ESF has an agreement with adjacent Syracuse University that allows its students enjoy many of the amenities offered by SU. ESF students can take SU classes, live in SU residence halls, and join any SU organization except for NCAA sports teams. SU students are also welcome to enroll in ESF classes. Because of this, students feel a certain degree of integration within the Syracuse University community. ESF s commencement ceremony is held together with Syracuse University in the Carrier Dome every May.

Students also enjoy a variety of shops, restaurants, museums, and theaters in Syracuse, and nearby Marshall Street and Westcott Street.
