NC State Fisheries and Wildlife students and faculty are active in a number of peer and industry organizations devoted to aspects of fisheries and wildlife sciences.
Visiting their websites can give you a better idea of how involved students and faculty are in their fields, as well as provide you with more information on fisheries and wildlife:
The Leopold Wildlife Club offers students the opportunity to network and learn from professionals in wildlife science and management. Meetings are held twice a month and typically feature speakers on a variety of topics. Past speakers have included falconers, fishing guides, taxidermists, decoy carvers and more.
The Student Fisheries Society is a sub-unit of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. It encourages the exchange of fisheries and aquatic science information among students, faculty and regional professionals and provides career guidance to students. The American Fisheries Society is the oldest and largest not-for-profit professional society for government, academic and industry scientists associated with conservation, development and management of fishery resources in North America.
The NC Chapter of The Wildlife Society provides a forum for wildlife professionals and others to interact to improve wildlife conservation and management while fostering high professional standards and ethics within all related fields. It is an acknowledged source of current scientific information and expertise, and acts as a collective voice on matters relating to wildlife biology, management, education and policy. Many NC State faculty and students are active members of this chapter.
