ENRAS Helps Families during the Holiday
During the month of December, ENRAS collected toys and money to help out families that are struggling. ENRAS used their Alumni Holiday Gathering held at COSI After Dark to collect gifts and donations for the families. These families have children with extreme life threatening health conditions. The effort from the society was tremendous and heart lifting to say the least. ENRAS came together and provided these families with gifts that would have been unattainable to get on their own. Because of ENRAS, a few children had the Christmas of their dreams, but it didn’t stop there. The families also received groceries and toiletries to help bring some sense of normalcy in their homes. The families certainly were surprised and thankful for our effort to help give them a great holiday. These children are facing a battle of life and death. Everyone in the Alumni Society and ENR staff deserves a standing ovation for a great turnout and group donation.

Career Bootcamp
Hosted by the Environment and Natural Resources Alumni Society, the Career Bootcamp 2016 went off without a hitch on January 26, 2016 at the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center. Thirty-two students representing all five of SENR’s majors and multiple graduate student programs along with 19 alumni professionals presenting created a good turnout for a cold January evening.
Mike McNutt was the master of ceremonies for the evening and added a bit of humor to the evening. Panelists this year were J.J. Domiano, Holly Tucker, and Mark Dilley. The panelist answered prepared questions from Dilley who also opened up the floor for students to ask questions of their own. Following the panel, students and professionals broke up into small groups to have one on one conversations and to ask the big questions about their given field. This was quite a success with many students staying past the end remarks to keep talking with the professionals.
We would like to thank all the alumni that volunteered to be on our panel and small group leaders including: Joseph Campbell, Mike McNutt, Mark Dilley, Brent Repenning, Brent Macolley, Danielle Balduff, J.J. Domiano, Holly Tucker, Ric Queen, Matt Perry, Reina Tyl, Tricia Evans, Lori Monska, Eugene Braig, Mark Giese, Gary Comer, Larry Peck and Melissa Turpenning.
Career Bootcamp is an opportunity for students to connect with alumni and get insight on what it is like to work in their given area of study. Without fail each year, a group of amazing alumni volunteers offer up their time to speak with students that are wanting the inside scoop on their field. 2017’s Career Bootcamp is tentatively set for the last week of January 2017.

Young Alumni
The School of Environment and Natural Resources’ Young Alumni group continues to hold small, informal gatherings for alumni under the age of 30. This winter, the group went on a short hike at Highbanks Metro Park, braving single digit temperatures to explore the trails and view the bald eagle nest from the observation deck. The group also met in April at Seventh Son Brewery for a happy hour, and meets every month at the Green Columbus “Green Drinks” events, held on the third Wednesday of the month. These events often feature networking for the first hour, and some light programming in the second, featuring leaders in the Columbus environmental community.
The Young Alumni group is looking to meet the needs of recent graduates and other alumni still establishing their careers and professional goals. The group plans to continue happy hours and outdoor events, and is open to other ideas for gatherings. We are seeking feedback and anyone interested in getting involved. If you would like to be added to the Young Alumni mailing list, or are interested in assisting the Young Alumni committee, please send an email to Nolan Rutschilling at Nolanrutschilling@gmail.com.
