Forestry 2018
Technical Manager - Urban Forestry
Lallemand Plant Care/BioForest

Rhoda B. deJonge currently works for Lallemand Plant Care/BioForest based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.  The skills she learned during her time as a PhD student at the then Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto were integral to her securing and succeeding in her current position.  However, these particular learned skills were not at all the ones she had aimed to hone while studying urban invasive species in graduate school in graduate school.  She'll talk about what these skills are and the important role they played in her making the leap from school to the workplace.

About the What's Next Speaker Series

AVSSU, GALDSU and FGSA are excited to bring to you What’s Next, an alumni speaker series. Speakers will be presenting their work and career paths since graduating from the different programs at Daniels. 

You will hear about the various industries and areas of work, skills you can transfer from university to the workplace, networking and more!

The lecture will start with a short presentation by the guest, followed by a moderated discussion with student(s), and ending with an open Q&A with the audience.

For the fall of 2020, we have an exciting line-up of speakers from the PhD in Forestry, MVS, MLA, and M.Arch, so be sure to mark the dates in your calendars. If you are unable to attend, please send in any questions you may have, and we will be sure to ask them for you. The talks will be recorded and can be found on Youtube. If you are a student and are interested in moderating a discussion, please reach out to your respective student union representative (see below).
