MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
The SIUC student chapter of The Wildlife Society is a Registered Student Organization at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. Although the Student Chapter is composed primarily of Zoology majors in the Wildlife Ecology concentration, we welcome any student with an interest in wildlife and nature. Dues are $5.00 per semester, and can be paid at any Chapter meeting or function. Throughout the year members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of projects and activities such as fund raisers, community service activities, field trips, attendance at scientific conferences, and wildlife and conservation-related projects.
What Does the Wildlife Society Mean to You?
As a member of our student chapter, you will associate with faculty and other wildlife professionals as well as fellow students with an interest in wildlife, be provided an opportunity to sharpen your communication skills, learn to work as part of a team, develop leadership skills, gain valuable experience and friendships that will serve you as a wildlife professional, and make contact with people who may provide future employment or graduate opportunities. You will be provided with opportunities to gain hands-on experience about topics which are introduced to you in class. Included in the people you will meet are graduate students and wildlife agency personnel, who often turn to student chapters when seeking volunteers or field help to assist in research projects.
