Peter Pietrangelo of Sault Ste. Marie presented a research paper at the 2010 John Burroughs Nature Writing Conference and Seminar held during the summer at the State University of New York in Oneonta. The conference, "Old Lessons for a New Millennium: Nature Writing and Environmentalism in the 21st Century," focused on the work of writers who contributed to the early conservation movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the work of contemporary writers who are exerting an influence on the development of early 21st century environmentalism.

LSSU Gift Acceptance Policy

General Statement All philanthropic giving for the University will be given through the Foundation. All Foundation programs and activity will be toward the exclusive benefit and advancement of the mission of the University. Overview The purpose of Guidelines for Gift Acceptance for the LSSU Foundation is to provide prospective givers, donors, foundation officers and board members, and related university staff a guide to accept charitable donations in many forms for the mission and work of Lake Superior State University.

A gift is generally something of value given by someone to another person, group or organization without any expectation of return.

Charitable giving in America represents gifts to a variety of people, groups, or organizations in the range of $150 billion last year.

Because the Government of the United States encourages this type of activity, it affords deductions, credits, carry-overs, and other reduction of tax burden to those people and organizations both public and private who give to government recognized charities.

These guidelines will take a common sense approach in accepting gifts to the Foundation for LSSU.

Jonathon studied the foraging behavior of white-tailed deer. Previous studies claim that deer have the ability to determine which vegetation will benefit them the most during different times of the year. In the fall, deer select diets high in energy content to maintain body mass and temperature. Nachazel's study explored the relationship between preferred white-tailed deer forage and energy levels found in the three types of vegetation. His results will assist managers in helping decrease mortality rates during the winter.
