Student Experiences

Morgan Sussman Wildlife

Throughout childhood, Morgan always loved wildlife. She grew up in a neighborhood built on a former cow pasture that became a haven for her to explore and discover wildlife. “I was raised on Steve Irwin,” Morgan says. “I was outside all the time—catching toads, snakes, mice, and shrews.”As a wildlife major, she’s translating the love she had as a child for wild creatures into a career path as an adult. “I remember things from childhood that I’m studying. I now know the why about wildlife.”

Seth Harden FNR Alumni, Forestry

I had the opportunity to see forests while earning my Forestry degree in the Purdue Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, not just off campus, but even in different states. The Purdue Summer Practicum in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan was an incredible experience that allowed me and other students to see every aspect of the forest industry.
