A number of special activities for students will be held at the NAOC. Due to a high expected student turnout and limited space, most student activities require a sign-up and are limited to students who are current members of at least one NAOC member society. Full details of all student activities, including times and locations as they are confirmed, will be posted in the future.
This workshop will involve presentations by a panel of established ornithologists who will discuss the components of a successful grant proposal with an emphasis on funding opportunities for students. Panelists will also discuss useful approaches for the acquisition of funding for post-doctoral research. For more information please see the full description in the Workshops & Courses section. Registration is required and space is limited, so sign up early. To sign up, contact Vicki Garcia.
This social provides an informal setting for students and professional ornithologists to meet and discuss common research interests. This event will take place at Hotel Galeria and feature appetizers and a cash bar. At the social, there will be five rooms representing as many as 11 different research areas: (1) avian physiology / morphology, (2) systematics / evolution, (3) migration / orientation, (4) behavior, (5) breeding biology, (6) avian community / landscape ecology, (7) avian diseases, (8) conservation, (9) raptor research, (10) tropical research, and (11) waterbird research. Professional ornithologists will sit at tables and students will circulate among the tables and rooms. The social will follow the AOU and CIPAMEX business meetings on Thursday, October 5, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Light appetizers will be provided. The cost of the social will be paid with funds donated by all NAOC societies. Space is limited to 320 students and 80 professionals resulting in a overall ratio of 4 students per professional.
Come to the first-annual quiz bowl and test your general knowledge of ornithology via a Jeopardy!-style team contest. The first 9 teams to sign up (each with 3 students per team) will compete in this round-robin style tournament. Students on a team need not be from the same school, but all team members must be a full-time student (or within 6 months of graduating). All students are invited to watch them compete.

This program will pair you with a researcher in your area of interest to help you network with professionals and learn how to succeed in avian biology. This program is designed to work within the meeting schedule by not having any specific meeting times, which are left to you and your mentor. To sign up, contact Doug Robinson.
