Katherine McCarthy joins the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry as the associate provost of enrollment management, effective Aug. 10, 2020.

In this role, McCarthy will develop and oversee programs, policies, and initiatives leading to continued growth in enrollment; expanded geographic, cultural, and economic diversity; sustained selectivity; and support the College’s highly successful retention efforts.

ESF fulfills a vital role in society, preparing students to take a leadership role in sustaining the environment. I am excited to become part of the process.”
