Thank you to everyone that participated in Dam Proud Day!
We raised $5,320 during the event!
This is a substantial chunk of our $30,000 departmental commitment to the program, so thank you very much! We will be sharing updates from our 2024 VIEW Fellowship Cohort throughout the summer on our social media accounts, so make sure you give us a follow.
Undergraduate Programs
Our undergraduates are making a difference by learning about and putting into practice the conservation of biodiversity, management of fish and wildlife, and protection of terrestrial, aquatic, and marine habitats through a degree in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences.
Graduate Programs
We educate our students to think critically and evaluate problems from a strong background in basic and applied science, fundamental ecological principles, and consideration of social influences on conservation. We strive to help our students succeed through a rich program of field and laboratory coursework and personal advising.
Faculty in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife are currently conducting research on a diverse array of topics in North America, as well as internationally. Want to see where?
