The Wildlife Society: Rutgers Student Chapter

The Wildlife Society (TWS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in wildlife stewardship through science and education. TWS‘ mission is to represent and serve the professional community of scientists, managers, educators, technicians, planners, and others who work actively to study, manage, and conserve wildlife and its habitats worldwide. Members of the organization manag

e, conserve, and study wildlife populations and habitats. They actively manage forests, protect wetlands, restore endangered species, conserve wildlife on private and public lands, resolve wildlife damage and disease problems, and enhance biological diversity. Wildlife students are the future of the profession, and TWS strives to further its cause by not only training these aspiring wildlife professionals, but also empowering student chapters at colleges and universities across North America. Student chapter members may attend regional TWS student conclaves and network with fellow students and wildlife professionals from across the region. They also get numerous opportunities to participate in educational workshops, field trips, and competitions, which help familiarize them with wildlife management techniques and natural resources issues as well as build relationships and provide experience critical to their professional future. TWS student chapters are also invited to local chapter meetings, regional section meetings, and a variety of workshops.
