Grounds manager covers 2,300 acres
By Caroline Moseley

Jim Consolloy, grounds manager for Grounds and Building Maintenance, has two offices. One is in Macmillan Building. The other, more capacious, is 2,300-acres of Princeton University property.
     "I've spent most of my life working outdoors, first in landscape construction, then in grounds management," he says. "There isn't any part of the campus that doesn't feel like home."
     Consolloy and his 37-man crew are charged with "maintaining all campus grounds and paved surfaces," and Consolloy knows every inch of that purview.

Five win PEI-RISE fellowships

Program funds environmental, policy component of graduate study in science

The National Science Foundation(NSF) has funded a pilot program that will enable selected graduate students to add an environmental and public policy component to graduate studies based in Princeton's science and engineering departments. This Research Initiative in Science and Engineering (RISE) is one of the first programs of the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), created in 1994 and directed by Simon Levin, George M. Moffett Professor of Biology; hence the program's acronym, "PEI-RISE."
     Five graduate students were selected in December 1996 to participate in the program. They will receive partial tuition and stipend support for up to two years. Five more students will be funded next year.
