Biology Club

The Biology Club is an on-campus student organization made up of students who share a passion for wildlife and the ecosystem. The group encourages scientific discovery, research, and social interaction with those interested in the biological sciences. Students work with faculty to advocate for resources for students in and out of the biology majors, and strive to help make the University of Wisconsin-River Falls more innovative and sustainable. Biology Club meetings are held Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. in 423 Agricultural Science.

Pre-Health Society

The group provides numerous volunteer and work opportunities, hosts speakers, and attends various events throughout River Falls and the Twin Cities. The goal of the organization is to help its members enter their desired graduate programs for health care. The Pre-Health Society meets Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Chippewa River Room, University Center.

Resource Management Club

The Resource Management Club is a volunteer-based organization that provides many hands-on experiences related to post-graduation fields. The club hosts events including invasive species removal, easement monitoring, duck house building, skiing/hiking outings at state parks, wildlife monitoring, and more. Volunteer events can be counted as honors student hours as well as help build a resume.

The club works with various local NGO and government organizations including Trout-Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Prairie Enthusiasts, DNR, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Guest speakers from a variety of career fields are also brought in to talk about internship opportunities and career pathways. In addition to all these opportunities, students can earn professional certificates including chainsaw safety training; herbicide applicator training for prairie, forest and wetland; and prescribe burning certificates during their time in the club. The Resource Management Club is open to the needs of its members and organization events are tailored to give students valuable experiences.

Pre-Veterinary Club

The UWRF Pre-Veterinary Club is designed to gather students with an interest in veterinary medicine to share ideas, network, and participate in activities that broaden their understanding of the veterinary field. The club attends the national American Pre-Veterinary Medical Association (APVMA) symposium each year and brings in a wide array of zoo veterinarians and admissions office speakers from various veterinary colleges. The club also hosts a panel discussion so students may ask questions about the job or application process. The club is very active in community service, fundraising, and other social networking activities including picnics, intramurals, movie nights, and bowling. Meeting dates and times can be found on the organization's Facebook page.
