Group Description

Categories: Academic and Educational

The Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Club, formerly known as the Headwaters Ecology club, focuses on students in the EEB major, as well as any other students (and grad students) interested in connecting with others amongst the same interest. It also presents opportunities to learn more about faculty and professionals that have pursued a career in the EEB field. The “headwaters” refers to the beginning of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park and one of our goals is to plan a weekend trip to the park. At many of our events, we spend time in nature and just hang out with each other! We are a very laid back group and plan events to watch Planet Earth, go to the Minnesota Zoo, stay a weekend at Lake Itasca, and get involved anyway that we can. We are very open to suggestions coming from any member. Once again, you do not need to be an EEB major, in CBS, or an undergrad to join!! Also, please check out our facebook group, "Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Club."
