Good morning Chris,
This is Erik Nordman, from Grand Valley State University's NRM Program.
We met and talked briefly at the Society of American Foresters meeting
in Reno. I was wondering if you could do me a favor regarding a MS
assistantship opportunity I have here at GVSU.
I was awarded a grant to complete an integrated assessment of wind
energy potential here in Michigan. I have money for a graduate
assistantship. The assistantship will include a stipend ($16k /yr, 2 years) and tuition
grant. If you don't mind, please pass this opportunity along to any
qualified and interested students you may know. The description is
below.
Thanks,
Erik Nordman
