The mission of the National Association of University Fisheries and Wildlife Programs is to represent, strengthen, and advocate for all college and university programs educating fish and wildlife conservation and management professionals.
With aligning missions, TWS and NAUFWP have formed a Strategic Partner relationship to further enhance both organizations’ efforts in support of wildlife education and the development of the next generation of wildlife professionals. The collaboration strives to increase student engagement with TWS through membership and/or annual conference participation, and vice versa. The relationship also ensures a regular cadence of strategic discussions between TWS and NAUFWP, giving them the opportunity to share new perspectives, resources, and ideas that will benefit students and faculty now, and also the future of science-based wildlife conservation and management.
