                               RESOLUTION


 
   Commending the Oregon State University College of Forestry on the 
                      occasion of its centennial.

Whereas educational programs in forestry were established at the Oregon 
        Agricultural College in 1906 and have evolved for 100 years, forming the 
        foundation for today's Oregon State University College of Forestry;
Whereas the centennial year of the College of Forestry began in May 2006 and 
        culminates with a celebration in May 2007, providing for year-long 
        recognition of exceptional education, research, outreach, and service 
        programs, and outstanding faculty, staff, and students;
Whereas the College of Forestry aspires to be the world's premier academic 
        institution in forestry and to serve the people of Oregon, the Nation, 
        and the world;
Whereas the College of Forestry is committed to providing the knowledge and 
        graduates needed to sustain forests and the functions, products, and 
        values forests provide for current and future generations;
Whereas the College of Forestry addresses complex forest resource challenges 
        through collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and 
        perspectives;
Whereas the College of Forestry has fostered teaching and learning about forests 
        through its forest engineering, forest resources, forest science, and 
        wood science and engineering educational programs;
Whereas the College of Forestry actively encourages students to engage in 
        distinctive problem solving and to conduct fundamental research on the 
        nature and use of forests, and to share discoveries with others;
Whereas the College of Forestry conducts research on a wide range of topics, in 
        the disciplines of biology, botany, ecology, engineering, forest 
        management, manufacturing and marketing of wood products, the social 
        sciences, wood chemistry, and physiology, that affect virtually all 
        Oregonians because of the importance of forests to the people of Oregon 
        and the State's economic health;
Whereas the College of Forestry recognizes strength in diversity of faculty, 
        staff, students, and ideas, and nurtures the community through 
        communication and respect;
Whereas the College of Forestry operates 14,000 acres of forests, which serve as 
        a living laboratory where active forest management provides teaching, 
        research, and demonstration opportunities for all Oregonians; and
Whereas the College of Forestry has been recognized by peers as the premier 
        forestry research college in North America: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends the Oregon State University 
College of Forestry on the occasion of its centennial.
