STUDENT SECTION
The conference in Madison will afford both graduate and undergraduate students a lot of opportunities. As emerging wildlife and fisheries biologists you’ll hear about current Midwest research findings and emerging issues as well as making important professional contacts (i.e., schmoozing), but beyond that there are a number of opportunities designed specifically for students. We have also set up a place where students can connect. Are you a networking newbie, want to ask others in your boat for some advice? Then this is the place for you.

As part of its effort to make the Conference a less wasteful event, there will be no registration gift that will end up as clutter on its way to landfill.
The question is: How many tote bags, pens, and leather portfolios does a person need? You’ll have to be the judge of that, but if you find that you’ve got extras in your office, Do we have an idea for you!
