The WDAFS 2016 meeting will offer a number of excellent opportunities for students to network, learn, and have a great time getting to know their fellow students and fisheries professionals. We invite you to join us and take advantage of these special, students-only events and benefits. See Student Symposium, Student Social, Student Mentor Lunch, Student Travel Awards, and Student Volunteering Opportunities for details.
I am a student and wish to volunteer to defray registration costs. Do I need to pay for registration?
Yes, everyone must pay registration fees up-front. Early registration for student members is $65. Students can volunteer at the meeting and will be paid $10 per hour up to 4 hours (total $40). Payment will be issued by check on the last day of the meeting, or mailed to those students who did not pick up their check on-site. Please contact Jane Sullivan ([email protected]) or Pat Crain ([email protected])
I am a student and wish to compete for a Best Student Presentation prize. Will I have to give my oral presentation during a specific session?
