Don Dickmann endows support for junior faculty in the Department of Forestry
April 13, 2021
Emeritus Professor Don Dickmann worked for over 40 years in the Michigan State University Department of Forestry before retiring – not once, but twice – and even then, it didn’t quite stick.

He continued to teach part-time and serve on graduate committees and as acting Chairperson in 2010-11, reflecting, “that’s a good way to do it. Not just walk out the door and never look back. I couldn’t do it that way.”
When Dickmann decided he wanted to give back to the forestry department by way of endowment, he reflected on how his contribution could be best used. “I have a real attachment to this unit and the people in it,” he said.
