The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff has an active and engaging student subunit of the United States Aquaculture Society. Our subunit is made up of 21 students and one faculty advisor. Our subunit is partnered with our university’s American Fisheries Society (AFS) student subunit. During the school year, we hold many public service events. These include clean-ups of public waterways and assisting with outreach events. We host guest speakers from different universities and expertise levels during our monthly meetings. Our public outreach programs focus on getting the community involved in wildlife and outdoors and talking to prospective students about our program and careers in Aquaculture and Fisheries. We have partnered with other Subunits to plan group events and socials. When our members are not participating in subunit functions, each individual student is working on research in our respective fields. We plan meetings to help support each other while preparing for professional conferences. We also plan student support workshops including resume workshops. Our Student Subunit engages both undergraduate and graduate level students while harboring an extra learning environment as well as a social environment. Our main focus is creating an environment to not only learn but also network with people who can help support you during your student career.
