The essence of the Dr. Fred S. and Mrs. Joan M. Barkalow Lecture,
held each spring at North Carolina State University is to enhance students’
learning experiences in biology, wildlife or natural resources management, or
other conservation related fields.
A distinguished conservationist is selected each year to be a resource for students
and to serve as a role model showing what students can achieve by doing their
best. After the Barkalow Lecture, a social encouraging attendees to meet and
interact with the guest lecturer enables students to form an even greater bond
with working scientists. It’s all made possible by the proceeds from an endowed
fund set up with the NCWF Endowment and Education Fund by Mrs. Joan Barkalow.
The Federation works in conjunction with the North Carolina chapter of the Wildlife
Society, the NCSU Wildlife/Fisheries Science Program, and the NCSU Zoology and
Forestry Departments to plan each year’s lecture. The general public is invited
to attend.
