In her new position as the recruitment and retention coordinator for the School of Natural Resources, Brooke Mott is all N.
She graduated from Nebraska with both of her bachelor's degrees, in classical studies and fisheries and wildlife, and her master’s degree, in natural resources with a focus on human dimensions.
"Apparently, I can't stay away from UNL for too long," she joked with Inside SNR. "I loved my time at UNL, and I loved being involved in helping build the community and friendships and getting to know everyone."
Trenton Franz, a hydrogeophysics professor serving on the hiring committee, said the committee was excited to welcome Mott back to the School of Natural Resources.
"We selected Brooke given her great experience and obvious deep affection for SNR," he said. "Brooke is a former SNR graduate student and will continue to make the graduate student experience top-notch."
Mott started June 3, coming from the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, where she had worked as an environmental specialist since July 2023. Prior to that, in 2021-2023, she was a master’s student and served as the social chair for the Graduate Student Association in the School of Natural Resources.
She said she expects her experience having gone through the program and worked in the field to be a benefit in her new role.
"Through my master’s and what I've done, I've come to realize I love talking with people and doing education and communication and event planning, but I'm also very passionate about natural resources and wildlife and the world around us," she said.
