ESF Students Honored with Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence
Two students from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry were named 2021 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence recipients.
Molly Mulhare and Timothy Webb-Horvath received the award which acknowledges graduating students who have best demonstrated, and have been recognized for, the integration of academic excellence with other aspects of their lives, which may include leadership, campus involvement, community service, or the arts (creative or performing). This is the highest honor a student can receive from SUNY. Recipients will be honored at an online ceremony hosted by SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras on April 14.
Mulhare is a senior environmental resources engineering major.
She is an ESF Presidential Scholarship recipient. She has been on the dean's and president's lists multiple semesters. Mulhare will also graduate with a minor in recreation resource and protected area management and will be completing the upper-division honors program at ESF with a project focusing on wetland biogeochemistry.
She has been an active participant in Saturday of Service and involved in the Alternative Spring Break, a 40-hour week program during spring break focusing on homelessness in Syracuse.
Mulhare provided 20 hours of community service each semester, volunteering both on-campus and off-campus at local state parks, museums and food services.

He has led more than 700 hours of community service and recruited more than 100 members. For his efforts, he was awarded the Community Service Excellence for an Individual Student SOLAR Award in 2020.
