PAUL SMITHS, NY (04/26/2013)(readMedia)-- The Wildlife Society's New York Chapter has named Paul Smith's College senior Jenna Daub the recipient of its Outstanding Student Award.

Daub, a fisheries and wildlife science major from Myerstown, Pa., is the first Paul Smith's student to win the award. She received the honor at the chapter's annual meeting on April 7.

"Jenna has clearly demonstrated that she will make her mark as a wildlife professional," said Jorie Favreau, an associate professor of wildlife biology at Paul Smith's and director of the fisheries and wildlife science program. "She has built a strong resume, tirelessly served the student chapter of TWS at Paul Smith's, and attended professional conferences while an undergraduate."

While at Paul Smith's, Daub has amassed a wide range of work experience, including working as a grassland bird technician for Southern Illinois University and collecting blood samples for the Vermont Health Department at a moose-check station in 2011. She has worked as an amphibian research technician for the Center for Adirondack Biodiversity at Paul Smith's and co-authored a peer-reviewed paper that appeared in Herpetological Review.

Daub, who is president of the college's chapter of The Wildlife Society as well as a tutor at Paul Smith's, is pursuing a career studying population ecology of vertebrates.
