The University of Missouri-Columbia Student Chapter of The Wildlife Society would like to invite everyone to the 2011 TWS North Central Student Conclave for one of the biggest events of the year!!!
WHEN: March 25-27, 2011
WHERE: Camp Lakewood, Potosi, Missouri
What is Conclave?!?!
The Wildlife Society Student Conclave is an epic weekend filled with social events, field trips, presentations, hands-on workshops and quiz bowl! Every year student chapters from the North Central Section of The Wildlife Society come together for a great time, to learn and network with other schools. We took a large group down to Purdue last year and we hosted it the year before that. It is always one of the highlights of the year for everyone and we hope that you decide to come too! There isn't a certain level of knowledge or prior participation you have to have in order to attend and sometimes is all the better if you don't! You'll have a great time getting to know other FW Club members as well as learn more about the wildlife profession. There will be many schools there from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The cool thing about going to these types of conferences is you meet people and make friends from different parts of the country and continue to see them at future conferences and into your professional career. This is also a great thing to put on your resume!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, WE NEED YOU TO EMAIL THE CLUB (msufwclub@gmail.com) BY THIS FRIDAY DECEMBER 31ST WITH A COMMITMENT TO PAY THE $50 WHEN WE GET BACK FROM BREAK. Our VP Marie is going to pay the costs up front for everyone that signs up, and you will be required to find a replacement or pay the $50, if you decide later that you are unable to go. (Please include your name, t-shirt size, emergency contact info, and any food requirements/allergies you may have in the email)
We really hope you decide to join us in March! Sorry for the rushed call for attendees - the lodge that MU is reserving has to know the number of people very early on and the money we send must be postmarked by January 1st..
