OVERVIEW
This webinar will include three presenters who will focus on connecting college and university students to hunting, including efforts to increase demographic diversity. These efforts play an important role in engaging people in waterfowl conservation, either as future waterfowl professionals; citizen supporters, leaders and advocates for conservation; or simply as individuals who benefit from this type of recreational connection to nature. Dr. Lincoln Larson, of North Carolina State University, will present results from human-dimensions research of diverse undergraduate students and their potential for becoming hunters and supporting hunting. Joel Brice, Chief Conservation Officer for Delta Waterfowl, will describe Delta's University Hunting Program — a dynamic curriculum in which wildlife management students receive instruction and training that culminate in a waterfowl hunt as part of a regularly scheduled wildlife course. Ducks Unlimited's Manager of Youth and Education Programs, Mark Horobetz, will discuss the success of DU's collegiate chapter program and how this group of volunteers plays a vital role in outdoor peer to peer mentoring through a variety of platforms.
