Each semester, we host seminars featuring professionals in animal behavior and related fields. These guest speakers share their real-world experiences and career insights, helping students connect classroom learning to a variety of career paths.
Our speakers represent diverse roles, including behavior researchers, wildlife conservationists, animal care professionals, educators, science communicators, and applied behavior analysts.
These talks offer valuable perspectives on how a background in animal behavior can lead to rewarding careers in research, animal care, and public engagement.
