Dr. Terry Conners Retires After 19 Years

Dr. Terry Conners is retiring after 19 year with the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources. Dr. Conners was an associate extension professor of forest products. He worked on primary and secondary forest industry programs, general wood identification questions, and wood related homeowner programs. Most recently, Dr. Conners received the Award of Merit for his work at the Railway Tie Association. We wish him all the best in his retirement!

Fall Semester

We are about halfway through the fall semester. Everyone has done a great job wearing masks and social distancing while in T.P. Cooper. Classes are still occurring in person and some of the larger classes are held online. We are in the planning stages of coordinating the spring field semester. We hope to get the students out as much as possible in the spring. We appreciate everyone’s hard work during these difficult times.
