This seminar offers students an opportunity to explore environmental careers that are appropriate for students in environmental conservation, sustainability science, and related fields. We will meet weekly to work on the requested elements for the professional world after graduation, such as resumes, networking, mentoring, interview skills, and more. We will also examine top sectors and growing fields to help students in professional degree programs position themselves for their intended career.

Students in this course will read and discuss current publications that span the entire field of our graduate program. Regularly scheduled discussions will be led by each member of our graduate faculty. This course provides an overview of the breadth and an introduction to the depth of research in our field and serves as a primer for all our graduate students.

Our understanding of animal migration has progressed by leaps and bounds in recent decades, but how do we know what we know? This seminar will focus on understanding the foundations of the modern study of migration and incorporate studies from a wide range of taxa. Course materials will emphasize a reading of both the classical and contemporary primary literature.
