scientists,
-
promote exchange of education information, techniques, and
materials among educators and among educational institutions,

fishery educators, employers, fisheries specialists, students,

The
Incredible Skinner Challenge: An Investment in our Future
The American Fisheries Society and
fisheries students seek your help in bolstering our AFS John E.
Skinner Memorial Fund. The Skinner Award provides travel
support for undergraduate and graduate students to attend the
annual AFS parent society meeting. The Fund and Award are
administered by the Education Section, but it is an AFS society
award. In recent years, we have been granting awards to 8-10
outstanding students (up to $800), depending on the yield from
the endowment fund. The Skinner is among the most prestigious,
popular, and competitive student awards.
The Education Section recently
passed a motion to augment the Skinner Endowment by $25,000 with
Section Funds. We further voted to initiate a matching
cost-challenge to all other AFS units to further enhance the
fund.
*The Education
Section will match all contributions to the Skinner Fund up to a
total of $25,000!
