The 21st century is seeing the emergence of a new era in U.S. environmental governance—one that requires greater adaptiveness, an ability to work across jurisdictions and sectors, and the ability to plan over larger spatial and longer time scales.

My research investigates how policies can improve approaches to climate-adaptive land management, forest restoration, and fire management.
More broadly, my work investigates environmental governance in this era of rapid social and ecological change, and I have a particular interest in policy design for temporal and spatial scale-related challenges.

I serve in a unique niche in my field by working across disciplines and bridging public policy, environmental governance, and natural science.
Because my applied research is responsive to the needs of policy makers and land managers, I engage in outreach with various audiences, including members of Congress, executive branch appointees and agency staff members, and non-governmental organizations.

My courses educate students in natural resource history, policy, planning, environmental impact assessment, governance, and sustainability studies.
I direct the Public Lands Policy Group, which produces original research to inform the policy and practice of natural resource management on public lands.

In 2020, I created and began leading the CSU Climate Adaptation Partnership, an effort hosted by the Office of the Vice President for Research and dedicated to developing interdisciplinary research teams and conducting policy outreach to address the challenges of climate adaptation.
My current appointment is 35% Teaching, 55% Research, and 10% Service/Outreach.

Until Fall 2020, my appointment was 40% Teaching, 50% Research, and 10% Service/Outreach.
HONORS AND AWARDS Presidential Fellow in Climate Change Analysis, Office of the Vice President for Research CSU Carnegie Fellowship Nominee 2022 2021 2019 & 2020 Monfort Professor Nomination and Finalist, Colorado State University 2019 & 2020 Outstanding Publication Award, Warner College of Natural Resources 2016 2014 Colorado State University Graduate Student Council Advising and Mentorship Award Teacher of the Year, Warner College of Natural Resources Courtney Schultz CV SECTION 2: Publications/Scholarly Record RESEARCH PROGRAM OVERVIEW My research focuses on the intersection of science, policy, and law in natural resource management, investigating how policy mediates the adoption and application of science-based land management principles.
Specifically, I study policy design to support collaborative forest restoration efforts, fire management, and climate change adaptation efforts on U.S. forestlands.

I also investigate how law and policy influence the practice of wildlife conservation planning and adaptive management, and I recently have begun working on post-fire governance challenges, with new research on post-fire policy with Indigenous tribes in the U.S. West.
I use findings from my empirical work to inform theory in the environmental governance, public administration, and social-ecological systems literatures.

I have led theoretical papers on policy design for scale mismatches and multi-level drivers of governance change.

I work across disciplines and publish with biophysical scientists, engineers, and other social scientists in high-impact science journals.
Through my publications and science delivery efforts, I have established myself as a national and internationally recognized leader in my field.

I lead high-profile research projects on forest policy topics of national importance and have represented the field of U.S. forest governance in international forums, including at conferences, in edited books, and in special issues of journals.
Since I began at CSU in 2010, I have raised more than $3 million as PI, more than $3 million as co-PI, published 54 journal articles, and graduated 12 MS and three PhD students.

I fund and supervise a research group, which currently includes three MS students and four research associates (three full-time, one half-time).

Since my promotion to Associate Professor in 2017, I have published 40 articles, including a piece in Science and a co-edited book.
Please see my Google Scholar profile for statistics and evidence of my increasing citation rates.

External funding sources include the National Science Foundation’s Macrosystem Biology program, Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, USDA Forest Service, and Joint Fire Science Program.

Throughout my career, I have integrated research associates, graduate students, and undergraduate students as contributors and co-authors on research projects and publications.
EVIDENCE OF INCORPORATING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND/OR SOCIAL JUSTICE (DEISJ) IN SCHOLARSHIP AND RESEARCH As part of the newly formed CSU Climate Adaptation Partnership, I am developing outreach and research projects with Indigenous scholars in my own and other departments, including Ethnic Studies.

Together, we recently wrote a proposal to the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center to work with Indigenous tribes on post-fire governance, studying management priorities and policy challenges.
To prepare for this proposal, we started the research approval process with the Karuk Tribe and built an advisory board that includes Indigenous representatives and staff members from the organization of International Tribal Environmental Professionals.

In other scholarship, we have included equity and inclusion considerations as well (e.g, see papers 5 and 19 below).

COLLABORATIVE AND INTEGRATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY SCHOLARSHIP I have collaborated with agencies and stakeholders on the design of research and regularly inform, consult, and involve stakeholders, policymakers, and land managers in my work.
Many of my active collaborations serve to integrate natural and social sciences to understand the impact of governance and policy processes on land management.

In a 2020 Applied Ecology paper with ecologist Dr. Brian Buma, from the University of Colorado at Denver, I took an integrated social and ecological perspective on the question of whether disturbances present opportunities for adaptation.
I have written numerous other manuscripts and have been awarded multiple grants to conduct research with interdisciplinary groups of colleagues, ranging from geographers to fire modelers and systems engineers.

For instance, I am part of a team of researchers on an NSF Macrosystems Biology project, where I investigate social and political dynamics that drive forest management to inform the broader team’s forest ecosystem modeling efforts.
More recently, I created an innovative and interdisciplinary team to build a Climate Adaptation Partnership at CSU, with funding support from the Warner College, Vice President for Research, and Provost.

Through this effort, I have submitted several interdisciplinary proposals to look at social and ecological aspects of climate adaptive land management.

My core work is in public policy, and I collaborate with numerous scholars in my field.
I have worked closely with Dr. Cassandra Moseley, a political scientist, at the University of Oregon.

Our efforts together began with a congressionally 16 Courtney Schultz requested third-party review of the Forest Service’s budget structure.

I then received funding from the Joint Fire Science Program to continue to collaborate with Dr. Moseley and other co-PIs across a range of disciplines to investigate various topics in fire management.
Our 2019 paper in Science offered a governance perspective on the challenges of fire management, based on our empirical findings from multiple research projects, to demonstrate why collaboration at multiple governance levels is critical to building capacity for improved fire management.

With multiple social scientists, I recently published a paper presenting a new theoretical framework on disturbance-driven governance change in an international special issue of Ambio on the forest governance frontier.
With my Ph.D. student Zachary Wurtzebach, I contributed to an edited volume entitled Adaptiveness: Changing Earth Systems Governance as part of the Earth Systems Governance project.

Based on years of organizing a network of scholars, in 2019 I published a co- edited a book entitled A New Era for Collaborative Forest Management: Insights for Policy and Practice from the CFLRP, with Dr. William Butler, a land-use planning scholar at Florida State University.
17 CV SECTION 3: Evidence of Teaching and Advising Effectiveness Courtney Schultz EVIDENCE OF INCORPORATING DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND/OR SOCIAL JUSTICE (DEISJ) IN TEACHING AND ADVISING EFFECTIVENESS Over the last several years, I have been utilizing CSU’s TILT (The Institute for Learning and Teaching) Teaching Effectiveness Framework to guide my course improvements.
I have prioritized work in the domain of inclusive pedagogy to align with our university’s DEISJ goals for advising and teaching, and to improve the content in my natural resource classes.

My two goals have been to build a more inclusive classroom environment and to improve the representation of non- dominant and BIPOC (black, Indigenous, and people of color) histories and narratives in natural resource policy and history.
In subsequent sections I describe in detail the course changes that I have made to make my classroom and content more inclusive and incorporative of social justice topics.
These changes include updating undergraduate course curriculum to include more detail on BIPOC histories related to westward expansion and U.S. natural resource policies, featuring Indigenous guest lecturers, incorporating readings on traditional ecological knowledge, and including, reading, and reflecting upon CSU’s land acknowledgement statement.
I also have led my research group, which includes postdoctoral scholars, research associates, and graduate and undergraduate students who work closely with us, in reading DEISJ material and attending trainings.

In 2020, we read How to Be an Anti-Racist and Citizen: An American Lyric.

In 2021, we focused on updating our knowledge about Indigenous history and anti-colonial resistance in the United States.
After engaging in some shorter readings, we read Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance.

This work has been challenging and highly beneficial for our understanding of Indigenous history and its role in past and present natural resource management.

Senior members of my group and I are now participating in additional DEISJ trainings through events such as the CSU Diversity Symposium.
TEACHING My teaching responsibilities are in natural resource policy and planning (Table 1).

Each year, I teach a 300-level undergraduate course that is required for most majors in the Warner College of Natural Resources and is an option for the Global Environmental Sustainability minor.
I also teach annually a 400-level forest policy course, and until 2020 I team taught a graduate course on environmental impact assessment and the National Environmental Policy Act, which draws Masters and Ph.D. students from numerous disciplines across the university.

In addition to my regular course load, I consistently offer independent study options for undergraduate and graduate students in advanced forest policy and policy analysis.
In 2020, I offered a seminar with colleagues in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology on human-carnivore coexistence.

My courses are known to be among the most challenging and rewarding in the college.

I offer highly engaging courses that take what many expect to be a dry subject matter and make it relevant and interesting to students, many of whom, after my classes, pursue careers in natural resource policy and planning.
Before my Ph.D., I was an educator in experiential and high school settings and studied pedagogy in my pursuit of excellence as a teacher.

I engage multiple kinds of learners through different educational strategies and work closely with my students to help them achieve their best.

My classes integrate critical thinking, public speaking, writing, and knowledge acquisition.

I teach ~700 student credit hours annually.


Courses Taught (last five years) NR 320: Natural Resource History and Policy (3 credits): This is taught as a survey course covering natural resource and public land history, an overview of policy and lawmaking for natural resource students, and an introduction to natural resource policy analysis frameworks.

Despite the large size of over 200 students a semester, I am committed to active learning.
Students frequently say this is among the best and most challenging courses they have had at CSU.

NR 425 Natural Resource Policy and Sustainability (3 credits): This is taught as a policy capstone course for the Forestry major and is open to students from other programs across CSU.
The course utilizes scholarly readings, case studies, guest lectures, and student-led discussions to critically examine the development, application, and effectiveness of policy instruments to achieve environmental, economic, and social goals related to renewable resource management.
18 Courtney Schultz NR 567 Analysis of Environmental Impact (3 credits): This is a graduate level course focusing on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and administrative regulations, court cases, and scholarly analyses pertaining the application of NEPA.

The course integrates theoretical and practical dimensions, examining the application of NEPA to particular cases through readings, guest discussants, and class discussion.
ECOL 592 Seminar on Human-Carnivore Coexistence (1 credit): This is a graduate seminar for students interested in studying human-carnivore existence and building a community of scholars working on this topic at CSU.

I co-taught this course with Drs.

Kevin Crooks and Stewart Breck.

As examples of how I have addressed this, I have undertaken two major areas of reform: • • My classes now include a student-designed list of class norms, including respectful dialogue, self-introduction using preferred pronouns, and ways to solicit contrary opinions without attaching them to specific individuals (e.g., role playing in classroom dialogue, and use of anonymous digital whiteboards for class feedback and dialogue).

In both of my classes I have incorporated new content on Indigenous history.
For instance, in NR 320, I now include non-dominant histories from the 19th century on westward expansion and its effects on BIPOC communities, and readings such as Kantor’s Ethnic Cleansing and America’s Creation of National Parks.

In addition to including and reading CSU’s land acknowledgment statement, I assign readings and discussions on the taking and selling of Indigenous lands to form land grant universities like CSU from the High Country News’ investigative reporting series on this topic.
In NR 425, I now include Indigenous guest lecturers, readings on traditional knowledge and tribal forest management policies, and readings on cultural impacts to tribes from climate change.

Students have indicated that they appreciate changes in both content and inclusive classroom climate.

I also adjusted my instructional strategies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, transitioning both of my courses to online formats.
My goals aligned with the instructional strategies and classroom climate domains in the Teaching Effectiveness Framework.

These included redesigning instructional strategies for online learning and creating an online student community.

Changes I made included: • Developing online learning modules for all content in NR 320 and recording new lectures for online viewing.

• Online discussion groups and a podcast assignment to develop smaller group community and interaction for different types of learners.
• Creation of low-stakes assessments and incorporation of strengths reflections in both of my courses to improve student success in the early weeks of each semester.

19 Enduring Educational Materials Courtney Schultz In addition to the above, as part of my leadership of the Teaching Effectiveness Committee for our department, I also led the revision of our code to assist faculty members in understanding our standards and capturing their efforts in improving teaching effectiveness.
I supervised two half-time teaching assistants who worked with our committee to identify content for specific classes and for the department to incorporate into their inclusive pedagogy efforts.

These students created a compendium of resources for the department, and we worked together with our college’s diversity officer to make these materials available to other departments.

This translated into improved content in my courses and those of my colleagues.
It also provided the two students with valuable training in inclusive content and pedagogical techniques.

Educational Professional Development I have attended the following facilitated trainings to improve my teaching, advising, and mentoring of my students and staff: October 26, 2021.

Other Evidence: Student Course Surveys and Comments Prior to 2019, when our standardized CSU course survey changed, more than four out of five students consistently rated my courses and instruction as above average.

In 2019 our survey approach changed and data have not been collected for enough years to reveal consistent trends, particularly in light of COVID-19.

STUDENT ADVISING/GRADUATE SUPERVISION I am a highly sought-out mentor, both for graduates and undergraduates.
I have advised seven undergraduate honors theses since 2011 and have involved multiple undergraduates in both research and publication.

I am a successful and engaged graduate student advisor, running an active research group (the CSU Public Lands Policy Group), graduating my students in a timely manner, and publishing with my advisees.

In my advising, I have developed Individual Development Plans with all incoming graduate students and staff members since 2019.
My students and I meet biweekly to discuss progress, provide advice to each other, identify mentoring opportunities, share intellectual discoveries, and hold each other accountable to tasks and timelines.

I have given my Ph.D. students and research associates the opportunity to mentor a M.S.

student and ask them to participate in research design, proposal review, identification of relevant literature, and methods training.
In addition, I actively seek ways to involve my students in outreach activities with the federal agencies to build professional connections and practical understandings of natural resource management.

Undergraduate Students While I serve as an available faculty mentor for many undergraduates, undergraduate advising is handled centrally through the Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship.

Forest Service Senior Fire Leadership Meeting.

I was one of two external researchers invited to present research and problem-solve with USDA Forest Service leadership.

April-September, 2018.

Joint Fire Science Program Sign-on Letter.


I led a sign-on letter that garnered over 800 signatures, including organizational sign-ons from the Society of American Foresters and National Association of State Foresters, in support of maintaining funding for the JFSP.

I had in-person conversations with appropriations staff members and agency leadership to generate support for the program and share our letter.

November 14-16, 2017.


“Strategies for Success Under Forest Service Restoration Approaches,” Washington, D.C. We conducted a brown bag seminar at the USDA Forest Service’s Washington Office, along with targeted presentations with multiple groups up to the highest levels (e.g., the Chief and Deputy Chief) of the agency.
In addition, we brief the Undersecretary of Agriculture and interested legislative staff on Capitol Hill about our findings and to identify ourselves as resources on topics of interest for upcoming legislative cycles.

SERVICE WITH EXTERNAL PARTNERS AND COMMUNITIES I have made engagement a priority, given that outreach to our stakeholders is a key part of the land-grant mission and that many of my grants have an emphasis on delivery of findings to managers and policy makers.
Below is a selected list of outreach activities, including workshops I have conducted, briefings for policy makers and local stakeholder groups, webinars, etc.

Often this work is high-profile, and through my participation I have significantly contributed to Colorado 25 Courtney Schultz State University’s reputation as a national leader in applied natural resource management.

My research also has been covered in numerous popular media outlets.

27 Appendix A: Student comments and letters Courtney Schultz NR 320 Student Comments 2018-2021 It really felt like a course where the students were encouraged to learn and ask questions.

The instructor and the TAs were super knowledgeable in the field but were never condescending about it.

They wanted us to ask questions and learn.

Courtney is not only great at explaining difficult topics in manners for everyone to understand, she is extremely accessible.
This [COVID] is not an easy time for anyone, and Courtney went above and beyond to make sure we were okay.

Dr. Schultz was really accommodating and listened to all of the struggles and suggestions from us and incorporated them into the class, which is admirable.

Courtney did a great job of including everyone who raised their hands and had something to say.

She never belittled or looked down on someone because of what they said, even if it was wrong.
I was impressed by the instructor’s ability to remain neutral in all cases politically.

The class never felt like a partisan environment.

The class discussions are very open as well as productive.

It’s a law class, but Courtney made sure to approach issues in a way so that it wouldn’t exclude people of different political views.

Courtney does an awesome job of facilitating an inclusive learning environment in a class that’s so big.
I’ve never felt more comfortable asking and answering questions, especially with how many people were in the room.

I felt that even though it was a policy class, Courtney made sure that all points of view were welcomed and there were no biased undertones in the course material.

Previous years Thank you for a wonderful semester of learning!

I loved the way you managed such a large class and ran your exams.

You can make a huge room feel small and that is essential for my learning experience.
I think that this class was amazing.

Courtney did a great job explaining everything we need to know.

I feel as if I have a better grasp of how our government works and how natural resources are managed, which I believe is critical to being an active, engage, and educated citizen.

She clearly cares about what she does and the subject matter, and her sense of humor kept the class interesting.
Even thought there were like 90 kids in the class, we all had opportunities to speak up and discuss controversial topics.

I feel that everyone should take this course.

I know that a class has been worthwhile when I often think about it outside of a class setting and in my everyday life.

This was definitely the case with this class.

I also have retained a lot of information from the beginning of the semester, which can sometimes be a challenge.

Great overall teaching style and connection with students.
Thank you for a great semester.

This is one of the best classes I have taken as a forestry student.

The instructor worked hard to make the material challenging as well as interesting.

I really liked that she pushed us to actually learn the material and had high expectations of us.

I loved this class!

2018-2021 I appreciated the level of writing at Dr. Schultz expected of us.

My writing has improved because of her expectations and NR 425 Student Comments support.
The learning environment was one of the most inclusive and engaging that I have experienced so far at CSU.

Most influential to me were the clear expectations we received for each module and assignment.

I never had to guess what was expected of me in a particular activity, and learning outcomes were clearly connected to all assignments in a way that was straightforward and relevant.

Lots of writing papers, which helped me improve my writing skills and gain confidence about writing.
I used to dread writing assignments, but after this class I know what to do and I feel confident in my ability to write.

Courtney is one of the greatest professors I have ever had.

She is truly valuable.

I have learned more in her two classes than in any of the other courses I have taken at CSU.

Taking her policy classes has inspired me to look into going to law school following graduation.

I appreciated this class immensely.

To be honest, I was dreading this course going into it.
I would not say policy is something I found myself interested in.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by this course, and especially by Courtney.

She was an amazing professor and I 28 feel really lucky to have had her this semester.

It was really cool seeing how she applies her knowledge in the real world and makes a difference.

It is evident that she is an expert on this topic.

Not only that, but she is able to teach students in a way that they can understand, which I really appreciated.
Courtney Schultz Previous years She’s an effective professor because she really expects that people do work, think critically and creatively, and she balances lectures/readings/assignment/discussion in a way that really touches on higher level thinking.

Her reading/summary assignments every week really helped me to go beyond just reading the article but actually think about it and retain the ideas presented.

Such an important course for me this semester.


It was so refreshing to be challenged and to have to apply so much of what I have learned into one class.

I really enjoyed being able to see what many of the main issues and current happening in the policy world [are].

This was a great course for getting a glimpse of what grad school and further studies in the field could be.

This was the best course I have taken so far at CSU.
Thank you so much for insisting on excellence in student performance, class content, and instruction.

I really appreciated the effort you put into the class.

I know that you have high expectations and this makes me work harder as a student.

This was the most intellectually challenging course I have taken and it was difficult at times but it was always worthwhile.

You are my favorite professor!

Keep it up!


NR 567 Student Comments This class was tough for someone unused to reading dense legal and policy documents, but I think those readings really pushed me to a greater understanding of the history and present of environmental policy.

If others asked me about this class, I would say “That was really tough.

And you should absolutely take it.” I really enjoyed the course.

The instructors did a good job of balancing theoretical material with real world examples.
The final project was a good opportunity to delve deeply.

Courtney and Tony did a great job of taking a subject that has the potential to be quite tedious and making it very engaging and interesting.

I feel that in-depth knowledge of NEPA is critical for anyone who will be working in the field of natural resources and this class was helpful in understanding it at a deeper level beyond just the process.

Letters from Graduate Students Courtney has served as my adviser and mentor for the last three years.
During this time she has spent an enormous amount of time and energy improving my writing, guiding me through the publication process, finding funding and projects that match my interests, and providing support and encouragement at every step along the way.

Above all, she has pushed me to achieve and accomplish more than I ever could have imagined on my own….

She has also helped nurture a supportive lab culture, one in which the more senior students provide guidance assistance and support to newer ones.
Indeed, perhaps the greatest thing that I have learned from Courtney is how to be an incredible mentor.

(Letter from Zack Wurtzebach, Ph.D. student) What makes Courtney such an amazing mentor is her combination of both professional and academic drive and her genuine care for students.

All of her graduate students continuously discuss what an awesome source of knowledge, wisdom, and kindness she is.

As a strong leader, she always provides direction and feedback.
She takes the time to listen, discuss issues, questions, and ideas.

She genuinely wants to see her students succeed, and is equally ignited by their passion.

Courtney is always searching for unique research opportunities, grants, scholarships, and conferences for her students.

She is consistently pushing us to be better students and apply ourselves.

Courtney has been an amazing source of inspiration to me, and reminds me to continuously strive and be the best academic and person I can be.
(Letter from Kathleen McIntyre, Ph.D. student).

During my second semester of graduate school, I found my dream job with the National Park Service in Lakewood, Colorado.

Dr. Schultz supported my application, was an incredible reference, and after accepting the part-time position she has worked with me to ensure I complete my graduate degree program in a timely matter (two and half years) and transition into my dream job full time.
Dr. Schultz is new-er to the Forest and Rangeland Stewardship department but her two graduate students before me efficiently completed their degrees and obtained incredible jobs that will lead to careers in the Forest Service and private industry.

Dr. Schultz has been an incredible mentor and excelled in supporting our career development.

As a female in the forestry world, Dr. Courtney Schultz is honestly a role model and an inspiration.
She is a powerhouse and I feel honored that I was able to study under and with her.

She is an incredible asset to Colorado State University.
