Name: Lillie Langlois
Title: Secretary
Short Bio: I am in my third and final year of a masters program in the Dept. of Natural Resources Science. My bachelors degree was obtained at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in 2004. My first year at URI was spent in Munich, Germany flying birds in a windtunnel to quantify the effects of dietary nutrients on flight energetics. More recently, I have switched gears to a captive study here at URI focused on quantifying the nutrient requirements of passerine birds during several stages of their annual cycle. For the past year, I have been a senator and active member of Graduate Student Association (GSA) and have also served as a steward for Graduate Assistants United (GAU).
