Staff Bios
Stanton "Peter" Otis, Jr. - peter.otis@yale.edu
Peter Otis is the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies' first full-time Director of Career Development. The overall goal of the School's Career Development Office is to assist master's and doctoral students in charting courses that will lead them to careers fitting their interests, skills and abilities in harmony with their values. He has worked at Yale since 1994.
He has a bachelor's degree from Trinity College, Hartford, CT and a master's in counseling education from the University of New Hampshire. He served in the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone as an agricultural extension agent.
Positions in higher education that he has held have included Director of Career Development at Lyndon State College in VT and Plymouth State College in NH. During his nearly 20 years at Plymouth State College, Peter also served as Personnel Director and Director of New Student Orientation and Director of International Student Affairs. In 1986 he created the first one year administrative exchange from the University System of NH that allowed him and his family to live in coastal, northern California while Peter worked at Humboldt State University in its Career Development Center.
He recently received an award for Environmental Career Counselor of the Twentieth Century, given by the Environmental Career Center of Hampton, VA.
The primary and most satisfying focus of Peter's career has been the advising and counseling of students and alumni/ae and the linking of these persons with others with mutual interests. A piece of paper attached to Peter's office door says, "If you love what you do, you get to play for the rest of your life." He believes he has been blessed with this opportunity to get paid for playing while assisting others.
