Students attend state wildlife meeting

VATWS2018_1

In February 2018, thirteen students attended the annual meeting of the state chapter of The Wildlife Society. Travelling to Staunton, VA, four students presented their research, and were supported by the Office of Undergraduate Research. Nine additional students, supported by the Student Activites/Student Involvement office, also attended. This was a great opportunity for students to meet potential employers and enjoy some networking opportunities. Dr. Karen Powers, faculty advisor of the student chapter of The Wildlife Society, also attended and presented reseach.
