F. ADMINISTRATIVE and LEADERSHIP
1. Strengthen graduate program infrastructure and promote culture of excellence in
scholarship
2. Lead self-assessment of graduate program
3. Increase the impact and prominence of scholarly research throughout the school
4. Improve sustainability, openness and transparency, and interagency engagement
5. Develop transparent and equitable processes that provide diverse opportunities for
learning, discovery and dissemination of new knowledge
G. SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES
1. Mentorship: Since joining University of Vermont I’ve mentored 29 undergraduate
research interns. Twenty-three women and three from other under represented
groups. Four of the undergraduate interns successfully competed for research funds.
Five of the interns are co-authors on publications that are currently under review.
Since 2007, I’ve mentored 14 graduate students, 8 Ph.D.’s and 6 MS. Seven students
successfully graduated; 2 continued on to pursue a Ph.D. and the other 4 are
currently employed in full-time permanent positions in the career. I currently serve
on 6 graduate students committees.
2. Teaching: I teach two undergraduate courses and one graduate or honors level
course each spring. Forest Ecosystem Health is a senior level course for forestry,
wildlife biology, and environmental science undergraduates. Enrollment is capped
at 25 students. This is a lab-based course. I engage students in ‘real life’
environment issues by offering the course within the service-learning framework.
The class partners with The State of Vermont Forest, Parks, and Recreation and
USDA APHIS. The second course is a service-learning course entitled: Ecology and
Arts of Arid Ecosystems. The class is available to students campus-wide with
enrollment capped at 15 students. The class partners with Burlington Legacy
Project and Burlington High School. The course ends with a field practicum in Arad,
29-Wallin-Last updated May 5, 2016
Israel. In Israel the class partners with the Desert Vision, Bedouin and Jewish
schools. I also teach a graduate level course entitled, How to be a successful
scientist. The course is open to RSENR graduate students and capped at 10.
3. Participation and leadership in interdisciplinary, inter-organizational research: I
have professional collaborations, either past or currently, with individuals and
groups of individual within USDA-Forest Service Northern and Southern Research
Stations, Dartmouth College, Cornell University, Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study,
Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Smithsonian, Carnegie Mellon Natural History
Museum, Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, USDA Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) Otis Laboratory, Williams College, SUNY-Syracuse,
USDA-FS Forest Health Protection, Oregon State University, and British Columbia
Ministry of Forests.
