Members of one of the oldest student organizations at UAF, the Resource Management Society, seek to spread knowledge about managing natural resources.

In addition to fun activities such as camping and hiking, the group does volunteer work. Conducting educational projects with children at Bunnell House, adopting a mile on the Parks Highway, hosting professional forums, and assisting with the Farthest North Forest Sports Festival are among the activities.

RMS welcomes new members, whether undergraduate or graduate students. The club meets on alternate Fridays at 6 p.m. in O’Neill Building, room 356, and holds Wednesday study sessions at 5 p.m. in the O’Neill third floor computer lab. Advisors are Associate Professor Peter Fix and Associate Professor Susan Todd.
