UW-Stevens Point wins Student Chapter of the Year

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Student Chapter of The Wildlife Society has won an award for the second year straight.

TWS’ Student Chapter of the Year Award recognizes outstanding achievements each year for these scholastic organizations.

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) builds the Society’s requirements for Certified Wildlife Biologists right into its major program.

The student chapter also makes efforts to invite wildlife professionals to speak at its weekly meetings, and encourages its members to attend state and national TWS conferences—many of them presented research at the 2023 Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.

Furthermore, the chapter is active promoting the work and progress of its members on social media, including their Instagram page, Facebook and website.

In total, the student chapter has now won the award nine times since 1994, the award’s inception year. Representatives from the student chapter will be presented the Student Chapter of the Year Award at the 2024 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
