MissionThe NRES GSA is committed to creating and developing meaningful interactions between graduate students in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at University of Illinois. Our mission is to enhance the NRES graduate student experience; give support to students; build a strong community within our interdisciplinary department; and provide opportunities to share research and ideas. Our goals include organizing departmental social and professional events, like camping trips, trivia nights, and an annual research symposium. We also act as a liaison for communication between students and faculty by participating in and sharing information from faculty meetings.
