On Monday October 27, Dr. Haines and three of his undergraduate researchers, majoring in Environmental Biology from Millersville University, attended the 21st Annual Conference of the Wildlife Society in Pittsburgh.
During this meeting, Millersville students Tristan Conrad, Meta Griffin and Andrew Wolfgang presented the results of their research. In addition to presenting their research, Tristan, Meta and Andrew attended a number of informative scientific presentations and attended a student Professional mixer in which they met potential employees in their field of study, colleagues they have worked with as well as Millersville Alumni that are now professionals in the wildlife field. Dr. Aaron Haines volunteered with the Wildlife Society to help supervise the student professional mixer, which is an excellent opportunity for students to network. Dr. Aaron Haines also presented a talk on the need for more research in regards to Wildlife Law Enforcement to help wildlife conservation officers mitigate poaching and the illegal wildlife trade via wildlife crime prevention strategies.
