UT Martin Wildlife Society wins Chapter of the Year Award
Martin, Tennessee - The University of Tennessee at Martin student chapter of The Wildlife Society (TWS) was recently awarded the 2004 Student Chapter of the Year Award by the Southeastern Section of The Wildlife Society at the annual conference, in Hilton Head, S.C.
UT Martin TWS won the national student chapter of the year award in 2000, competing with approximately 75 other student chapters.
Members of the student group completed an application for the award last spring detailing their activities for the past year. The award is based on level of involvement in the profession, service and educational efforts.
UT Martin TWS is one of approximately 24 student chapters of The Wildlife Society in the Southeastern U.S. Twenty-one members of the UT Martin TWS attended the conference, where the group was recognized by the president of The Wildlife Society's Southeastern Section and the president and executive director of the parent organization.
The Wildlife Society, founded in 1937, is an international non-profit scientific and educational association dedicated to excellence in wildlife stewardship through science and education. The mission is to enhance the ability of wildlife professionals to conserve diversity, sustain productivity and ensure responsible use of wildlife resources for the benefit of society. UT Martin TWS is open to all students at UT Martin..
