Field Notes
Field Notes is a NREM Graduate Student Organization publication, designed to give you a glimpse of what has happened in NREM over the last year. The publication welcomes new faculty and graduate students, checks in with those who have graduated, features articles that highlight research projects, and spotlights the creative side of our department. Be sure to purchase one of our calendars that showcases our department's many photographers every fall!
Seminars and Events
Each semester the Graduate Student Organization hosts a series of professional seminars, given by guests from all across the United States. Topics range from research to conservation practices, to job avenues in natural resources. Anyone is welcome to attend!

Since 2013, the NREM GSO hosts the Gardner Property Volunteer Day collaborated with the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (INHF) every fall semester. This is INHF's longest running volunteer event where we help manage the remnant prairies on the property.
