Extractions: Career Opportunities A degree in fish and wildlife biology prepares a student for a broad array of careers. Many who take degrees find employment with state and federal conservation agencies, and the forest industry. Environmental engineering and consulting firms are also hiring an increasing number of wildlife biologists each year. Graduates are not limited to these fields, however, because the curriculum in wildlife biology places emphasis on invaluable analytical/quantitative tools, management and planning concepts, and communication and teamwork skills. Although field biology is central to most careers in wildlife biology, the capabilities gained in a wildlife curriculum lead many people into careers in technical and people-oriented fields. These careers include the computer industry, medicine, teaching, and government.

Extractions: -Aldo Leopold For over half a century, the Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation program has sought those who cannot live without wild things. The major provides students with the essential education to manage, conserve, and protect fish and wildlife, and the land and water environments on which they and we depend. Such tasks demand people broadly trained in science, natural history, ecology, and policy. Your education then reaches beyond these traditional boundaries with applied conservation courses to prepare you for the demands of resource management issues. Beyond the technical and biological challenges, you must also be sensitive to issues of public policy and social values.

In many ways, the state of the national economy hinges on the strength of building construction and home improvement industries. Success of these critical industries relies on the leadership provided by a highly sophisticated and skilled work force. Graduates of the Building Materials and Wood Technology program help provide the required leadership and vision through their understanding of this technically competitive field. The study of science, technology, business, and design serve as the base for expertise developed in this program of study. Building Materials and Wood Technology professionals are multifaceted. Graduates are involved in virtually every area of building technology, wood science, corporate management, and product distribution, with responsibilities ranging from research and development to the distribution and installation of finished goods. They ensure that the materials selected and used are best suited to the needs of each project in terms of safety, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. It is the experience of integrating scientific and technical understanding with general business acumen that makes graduates of the Building Materials and Wood Technology program uniquely desirable to hiring corporations.

About Us July 1, 2002 marked the beginning of a new era in natural resource education, to continue the growth of our programs in forestry, fisheries, wildlife, http://www.nrem.iastate.edu/about_us.htm
Extractions: Spring 2005 Welcome from the Chair July 1, 2002 marked the beginning of a new era in natural resource education, research, and extension at Iowa State University. The formation of the Natural Resource Ecology and Management Department through the merger of the Animal Ecology and Forestry Departments will provide the means and facilities to continue the growth of our programs in forestry, fisheries, wildlife, and wood science; while providing the platform on which to build new programs. Historians often like to say that the past is the prologue for the future. If that is true, there is little doubt that our history of achievements as individual departments provides us with a very sound and successful base on which to continue into the future. The forestry program, which will celebrate its Centennial in 2004 , can trace it roots to Gifford Pinchot and the very beginning of forestry education in the United States at the start of the 20th Century. But even before that, Dr. Charles Bessey began to introduce elements of forestry into the Botany curriculum and was among the first to explore the potential impact of aforestation on the climate of Iowa and other states along the prairie-forest interface.
