Each year the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation provides
funds to the WGSA to invite several speakers of specific interest to
current graduate students. Speakers are determined by vote of all WEC
graduate students. An announcement will be emailed to all graduate students
twice yearly regarding nominations and voting. The WGSA
Vice-president and one other volunteer coordinate all activities
including seminar arrangements, meetings with individual students, reception,
and field trip. If you would like to help in these activities please
contact the WGSA Vice-President.
