Ms. Edith “Edy” Williams-Rhodes has been chosen as Fellow for the College of Forest Resources. Williams-Rhodes is a 1976 forestry graduate and is a retired chief of the Division of Fire and Aviation with the National Park Service. This Prentiss native remembers many fond days spent at MSU. Williams-Rhodes knew from a ...young age that she wanted to be a forester. As a child, she tagged along in the woods with her father, Dan Williams, a fellow forester and a 1951 graduate in the first class of forestry students at MSU. While at MSU, Williams-Rhodes believed her greatest accomplishment was surviving forestry summer camp, a well-deserved feat in the hot, humid Mississippi climate. She also felt that her participation in the cooperative education program, challenging courses, and labs helped prepare her for her career. Though now retired from forestry, her early career included serving as an area commander in ICS and the first female regional fire director for the United States Forestry Services in the southwest region. Reflecting on her career, she said she hoped her legacy was, “Making it easier for women, minorities and young employees to see themselves in nontraditional roles and leadership positions within our agencies and fire management.” Currently, Williams-Rhodes lives in Hattiesburg with her husband, John, and is a realtor with Coldwell Banker Don Nace, Inc.Read More
