GENERAL INFORMATION
The University of Florida Student Chapter of
The Wildlife Society is affiliated with The
Wildlife Society, Inc, the Southeastern
Section, and the State
Chapter, which are part of the network for the professional society
for wildlife biologists. Evening meetings are held bi-monthly throughout
the school year. TWS Chapter activities are diverse and provide professional
and fun opportunities for every WEC major. Professional activities include inviting professionals
to speak on a wildlife topic at meetings, attending State Chapter meetings, participating in the Southeast Section Student
Wildlife Conclave in the Spring, and getting
involved in political issues that affect wildlife resources. On the lighter
side, the Chapter hosts an annual "Wild Game Dinner" in the Spring, cleans
up an adopted section of road adjacent to a state natural area, provides
assistance at a local wildlife rehabilitation facility, and organizes other social gatherings. Participation in the Student
Chapter of TWS is an excellent way to begin a student's wildlife career.
