Rivers to Rangelands: Careers in Conservation | Ask Alumni Webcast

From waterways and wetlands to working lands and open ranges, conservation careers take many forms. Join us to hear from Oregon State alumni across conservation-focused fields as they share how their academic experiences shaped their professional paths.

During this interactive panel, Beaver alumni will discuss their career journeys, lessons learned along the way and how they’re making an impact in areas connected to agricultural and natural resource stewardship and conservation.

Whether you’re a student exploring career possibilities, a recent graduate charting your next steps or an alumnus interested in conservation-focused work, this conversation offers practical guidance, inspiration and the chance to connect with the OSU alumni network.

Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Sciences Department Head Selina Heppell will moderate the conversation.

Co-hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences and the OSU Alumni Association, don't miss this opportunity to connect with other Beavs working to conserve our shared landscapes.
