2012 Spring Semester Career Speakers Extended Descriptions
Conservation Warden: An Office with a View FIRST SPEAKER NEXT WEEK!
Presented by: Nathan Kroeplin - Conservation Warden, Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources
Date: 2/2/2012
Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: If you are the outdoorsy type and have an interest in the law, a job as a Conservation Warden may be a career path to choose. More than 200 Wardens serve as the law enforcement arm of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Nathan Kroeplin has been a DNR warden for more than a decade and will review the hiring process, minimum requirements and what students can do to better their chances of becoming a warden. With the Wisconsin outdoors as his office, Nathan shares what a typical day is like as a warden, the pay, benefits and perks and why he thinks it's the best job in the world.
From Cart Attendant to Retail Club Manager Attention Business Classes!
Presented by: Adam Peck - Club Manager, Sam's Club - Madison
Date: 2/8/2012
Sessions: Session A (09:00 AM), Session B (09:45 AM)
Description: Many young people get their first jobs in retail stores as a way to earn spending money or save for college. But the industry also offers great opportunities for long-term careers. Adam Peck started working at a Sam's Club in high school, which turned into a job that got him through college and now has become his career. Now as Club Manager at the Madison store, Peck discusses the day-to-day challenges, benefits and rewards in retail as well as his potential to grow in his career with the nationwide retailer.
Fisheries Expert-Battling Aquatic Invasive Species NEW SPEAKER
Presented by: Phil Moy - Fisheries and Aquatic Invasive Species Specialist, UW Sea Grant Institute
Date: 2/15/2012
Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: Since the 1800s, more than 185 exotic aquatic organisms of all types - including plants, fish, algae, viruses and mollusks - have established themselves in the Great Lakes. The species displace those that are native, and take a toll on an ecosystem. There are ways to fight back. Well-known Wisconsin invaders, like the sea lamprey, are now better controlled. Even the high-jumping Asian carp, which is knocking at the door of Great Lakes, has run into shocking barriers thanks, in part, to the work of Phil Moy. In his role as a fisheries expert, Moy will talk about his battles with aquatic invasive species and review the kinds of career paths that can help in this fight to protect Wisconsin waters.
Walk on the Wild Side: Animal Science/Zoology NEW SPEAKER
Presented by: Erin Flynn - Conservation Education Curator, Henry Vilas Zoo
Date: 2/21/2012
Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: From her beginnings as a teenage zoo volunteer in Nebraska to the remote reaches of Australia, Erin Flynn has had a vast range of experiences with a wide variety of animal species. Early on she planned to be a veterinarian, but soon was drawn by allure of exotic animals. Now the Conservation Education Curator at Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI, Erin talks about her role in zoology today and how her travels have taken her around the world to practice animal science on some of the world's most unique creatures.
Finding the Food Science in You: Food Scientist Attention Science Classes!
Presented by: Alexander McGowan - Associate Food Scientist, Kraft Foods-Oscar Mayer
Date: 2/22/2012
Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: Food science is a study concerned with all technical aspects of foods, beginning with harvesting or slaughtering, and ending with its cooking and consumption, an ideology commonly referred to as "from field to fork." It is one of the life sciences and is usually considered distinct from the field of nutrition. Alexander McGowan will share what led him to the world of food science and now as a food scientist with one of the nation's leading companies what he does on a day-to-day basis.

2012 Spring Semester Career Speakers Extended Descriptions
Conservation Warden: An Office with a View FIRST SPEAKER NEXT WEEK!
Presented by: Nathan Kroeplin - Conservation Warden, Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources
Date: 2/2/2012
Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: If you are the outdoorsy type and have an interest in the law, a job as a Conservation Warden may be a career path to choose. More than 200 Wardens serve as the law enforcement arm of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Nathan Kroeplin has been a DNR warden for more than a decade and will review the hiring process, minimum requirements and what students can do to better their chances of becoming a warden. With the Wisconsin outdoors as his office, Nathan shares what a typical day is like as a warden, the pay, benefits and perks and why he thinks it's the best job in the world.
From Cart Attendant to Retail Club Manager Attention Business Classes!
Presented by: Adam Peck - Club Manager, Sam's Club - Madison
Date: 2/8/2012
Sessions: Session A (09:00 AM), Session B (09:45 AM)
Description: Many young people get their first jobs in retail stores as a way to earn spending money or save for college. But the industry also offers great opportunities for long-term careers. Adam Peck started working at a Sam's Club in high school, which turned into a job that got him through college and now has become his career. Now as Club Manager at the Madison store, Peck discusses the day-to-day challenges, benefits and rewards in retail as well as his potential to grow in his career with the nationwide retailer.
Fisheries Expert-Battling Aquatic Invasive Species NEW SPEAKER
Presented by: Phil Moy - Fisheries and Aquatic Invasive Species Specialist, UW Sea Grant Institute
Date: 2/15/2012
Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: Since the 1800s, more than 185 exotic aquatic organisms of all types - including plants, fish, algae, viruses and mollusks - have established themselves in the Great Lakes. The species displace those that are native, and take a toll on an ecosystem. There are ways to fight back. Well-known Wisconsin invaders, like the sea lamprey, are now better controlled. Even the high-jumping Asian carp, which is knocking at the door of Great Lakes, has run into shocking barriers thanks, in part, to the work of Phil Moy. In his role as a fisheries expert, Moy will talk about his battles with aquatic invasive species and review the kinds of career paths that can help in this fight to protect Wisconsin waters.

Presented by: Erin Flynn - Conservation Education Curator, Henry Vilas Zoo

Sessions: Session C (01:30 PM), Session D (02:15 PM)
Description: From her beginnings as a teenage zoo volunteer in Nebraska to the remote reaches of Australia, Erin Flynn has had a vast range of experiences with a wide variety of animal species. Early on she planned to be a veterinarian, but soon was drawn by allure of exotic animals. Now the Conservation Education Curator at Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI, Erin talks about her role in zoology today and how her travels have taken her around the world to practice animal science on some of the world's most unique creatures.

Presented by: Alexander McGowan - Associate Food Scientist, Kraft Foods-Oscar Mayer

Description: Food science is a study concerned with all technical aspects of foods, beginning with harvesting or slaughtering, and ending with its cooking and consumption, an ideology commonly referred to as "from field to fork." It is one of the life sciences and is usually considered distinct from the field of nutrition. Alexander McGowan will share what led him to the world of food science and now as a food scientist with one of the nation's leading companies what he does on a day-to-day basis.
