American
Fisheries Society
Alaska Chapter - STUDENT UNIT
The Student Unit was organized as a sub unit of the Alaska
Chapter of the American Fisheries Society in 1987 to promote the involvement of
students at Alaskan colleges and universities in the affairs of the American
Fisheries Society and in the understanding and wise use of Alaska fish and
fisheries. The student unit provides a forum for students and others to
interact with practicing fisheries scientists through guest lectures, meetings,
and activities.

Symposium scheduled for November
9th at 1:00 p.m. in Anderson Rm 221. There will be 12 student
presenters and a buffet snack at about 3:00 p.m.
We participated in the fall stream cleanup, organized by the Mendenhall Watershed Program on Nov. 3rd, cleaning up our section of Jordan Creek. We also opted to clean up part of Montana Creek near the trailhead. The area is looking good! There are approximately 10 students attending the AFS Sitka meeting, 8 of which are presenting. We are currently getting raffle prizes together and will hopefully have some interesting things for the meeting. That's all for now. Cabin socials will be along shortly when the snow is good and the weather is sunny (i.e. not any specific time). Hope that helps, and thanks for your patience. |
