Students interested in careers in natural resources are encouraged to attend the UAF Natural Resources, Fisheries, and Sciences Career Day Wednesday, Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Wood Center.

In addition to nearly forty career information booths there will be panel discussions from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 to 2 p.m. Participants are Heather Knudsen, US Fish and Wildlife Service; DeAnne Stevens, Alaska Division of geological and Geophysical Surveys; Matt Evenson, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Sport Fish Division; and Steve Murphy, ABR Inc.

Students attending the fair will learn what qualities, skills, education, and experience employers look for; the wide range of possible educational, employment, and internship opportunities available; and whether or not a graduate degree is helpful in a particular field.

The event is sponsored by UAF Career Services, SNRAS, UAF Alumni Association, College of Natural Science and Mathematics, School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
