Northern Bobwhite and Managing for Wildlife: 11/5 from 6:30-8pm @ Henkel Hall 105- Hester Auditorium (1.5 points)
Event Description: Join us to create bobwhite quail art and learn how conservationists are helping these at-risk native birds. The first half-hour of our program is set aside for educational activities and networking with sustainability-minded folks from the northern Shenandoah Valley. Light refreshments will be served. Our guest speaker's presentation will begin at 7PM.
Northern Bobwhite and Managing Land for Wildlife
Since the 1960s, Northern bobwhite populations in Virginia have been in steep decline. Factors such as increasingly intensive agricultural operations, reduction of native habitat, transition of land use, and repression of natural ecological disturbances have significantly contributed to this decline.
To help restore bobwhite populations and improve habitat, conservationists are finding it is imperative to work alongside private landowners and farmers to ensure working landscapes are benefitting not only agricultural production, but wildlife as well.
This presentation will take you through the natural lifecycle and habitat requirements of northern bobwhite, and the ways that we can work to promote these ecosystems on private lands in Virginia. It will also address specific challenges that are faced concerning northern bobwhite and grassland bird conservation in general, and we will look at real applications of conservation best management practices (BMPs) on working landscapes.

Caps Off For A Cure!: 10/15 from 5:30-7pm @ BSC 118 (1.5 points)
Event Description: Caps Off For A Cure! is a service-learning opportunity that allows Shenandoah University students to support local cancer patients while learning more about cancer advocacy and community involvement. During the event, students will decorate chemotherapy caps that will be donated to patients at the Valley Health Cancer Center. Each participant will be able to choose a cap color and personalize it using iron-on patches, creating a unique gift for someone undergoing cancer treatment.
In addition to creating the caps, participants will learn about the American Cancer Society, its role in supporting individuals and families affected by cancer, and the resources it provides to patients and communities. Students will also be introduced to Shenandoah University’s Relay For Life and learn about ways they can become involved in future fundraising, service, and cancer-awareness initiatives. This event provides students with a hands-on opportunity to serve members of the local community while demonstrating compassion, creativity, and civic engagement.
