Ever wonder how to navigate through timber to a rocky point above treeline? Are you willing to spend the night out under the stars in the company of others exploring the value of wilderness experiences? Are you looking for the class that fits your passions?

We would like to congratulate HDNR faculty and students for winning the Outstanding Publication award, Outstanding mentorship award, and JVK Wagar Honor Senior Award. Congratulations Rebecca Gruby and Jennifer Solomon, and to our seniors Julie Lipson, Madeleine Sweeney, Lauren Hughes, and Kami Bakken!

Researchers at Colorado State University and The Ohio State University have found that a cultural backlash stemming from the rise of populism may limit opportunities for state fish and wildlife agencies to adapt to changing social values in the United States. The team reached this conclusion by analyzing more than 12,000 surveys from 19 states and studying ballot initiatives related to hunting.

This position will assist with implementing and collaborate on program planning, development, and strategic communications in the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources (HDNR). Responsibilities encompass assisting in the promotion and marketing of HDNR programs, webpage design and maintenance, and student recruitment. Duties also include assisting in the strategic development of opportunities as related to the department’s undergraduate, graduate, research, and outreach programs.
