ZEW Club is the overarching non-domestic species club at WSU, focusing on Zoo, Exotics, and Wildlife. Our lectures cover a broad range of topics and we often partner with other clubs to consider how exotic animals fit into other specialties. We do lots of tours and distribute information from national organizations (such as the AZA) to our members. The ZEW Board has primary responsibility for ZEW Symposium, though it is truly a joint effort with the other clubs.

The WSU Aquatics Club (not a swim team) holds a variety of lectures, labs, and tours throughout the school year, all focused on aquatic organisms. If an organism is in the water, it's fair game! Our officers (pictured, that's not the whole club!) put together lectures on everything from salmon diseases to marine mammal rehabilitation. By the end of this semester, members will have had opportunities to dissect sea turtles, a variety of fish species, and harbor seals, in addition to touring all of the major public aquaria in Washington. We're bringing our comparative necropsy lab to ZEW Symposium, along with a host of great aquatics speakers.

WSU's student chapter of the Wildlife Disease Association is focused on bringing together all kinds of students interested in wildlife disease - veterinary students, graduate students, and even junior/senior undergraduates! WDA is coordinating the wildlife necropsy lab, working with the Washington Wildlife Rehabilitation Association to get a variety of interesting cases. Our normal semester events include talks from disease ecologists, tours of wildlife rehabilitation facilities, and, of course, social events like our smash hit WDA Trivia Night (aftermath pictured here). Could the Necropsy Ball be next?
