What is a Student Association?
Formed by SER student members at universities and academic campuses, the SER Student Association Program allows students studying ecological restoration and related fields to come together to connect, share resources and mobilize as the next generation of restoration professionals. The program was established in 2007 and has grown nationally since then.
Active SERNW regional student associations include:
- University of Idaho
- University of Washington
- Western Washington University
Each association is sponsored by a faculty advisor and engages in a variety of activities each year such as career fairs, volunteer opportunities, and workshops, to name a few.
