I sponsored three of my research students to participate in The Wildlife Society meetings in Snowbird, Utah. October 2010.
- Anna Novine, Biology ‘11
Poster “Monitoring wetland success through the faunal community”
- Anthony Veroline, Environmental Science with a Biology Concentration ‘11
Poster “Investigating Ondatra zibethicus activity in a New York population”
- Jeffrey Hatzel (’12 ENVS) and Laura Easton (transferred) Poster “The relationship between free-ranging space use patterns and captive open arena behavioral tests in muskrat.”
Awards received to defray a portion of the travel expenses:
Anna and Anthony each received an award from the the Jack and Flo Bernard Undergraduate Research Fund.
Jeff received support from the HSBC Commit-to-Change Grant for travel.
They all received H&S Educational Grant Initiative support.
The group received funding from the Provost's Instructional Development Fund.
Student Coauthorship on Conference PresentationsStudent work has also been an integral part of numerous presentations I have taken to other professional meetings. Summer meeting times has made it hard for my student coauthors to attend- they keep being off on amazing research internships!
