Fisheries & Wildlife Sciences

We in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences are passionate about natural resource conservation and management and about making a difference in how our society values sustainable natural resources. To achieve our vision, we are committed to serve as role models for excellent research, teaching, and outreach. We intend our program to be the best place to attract and nurture outstanding people who will lead in making legacy decisions. We are a self-organized, adaptive unit, and we recognize that our effectiveness is best achieved by sharing our time, talents, wisdom, and enthusiasm to enable others to act and to excel. We will continue to improve the status quo and celebrate our successes in changing the world, one person at a time.

By 2010, we will be recognized widely as a premier program in North America that addresses fisheries and wildlife issues of national and global concern, we will generate new knowledge at the cutting-edge of research in the conservation sciences, we will be recognized by peers for excellence in research, teaching, and outreach, and our faculty will be leaders in their respective disciplines.

The Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences aims to be a center of academic excellence in conservation management, fisheries and wildlife sciences, and aquaculture by providing quality programs in research, teaching, and outreach that will enhance fisheries and wildlife resource management at state, national, and international levels.
